Isaac Liev Schreiber (; born October 4, 1967) is an American actor, producer, director, and screenwriter. He became known during the late 1990s and early 2000s, having appeared in several independent films, and later mainstream Hollywood films, including the ''Scream'' trilogy of horror films, ''Phantoms'', ''The Sum of All Fears'', ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'', ''Salt'', ''Taking Woodstock'', and ''Goon''. Schreiber is also a respected stage actor, having performed in several Broadway productions. In 2005, he won a Tony Award as Best Featured Actor for his performance in the play ''Glengarry Glen Ross.'' That year, he made his debut as a film director and writer with ''Everything Is Illuminated,'' based on the novel of the same name. He also plays the eponymous lead character on the Showtime series ''Ray Donovan''. He narrates the HBO series ''24/7'', as well as various PBS programs. == Early life == Schreiber was born in San Francisco, California, the son of Heather (née Milgram) and Tell Carroll Schreiber, a stage actor and director.〔http://humphrysfamilytree.com/Royal/Notes/schreiber.pdf〕 His father is from a wealthy Protestant society family from Bucks County, Pennsylvania; Tell's family had lived in the United States for many generations, and his ancestry includes German, Swiss-German, Danish, Dutch, English, French, Irish, Norwegian, Belgian (Flemish), Scottish, and Welsh. Schreiber's mother, who now lives on an ashram in Virginia, was born into a Brooklyn working-class household of communists; her family was Jewish (descended from immigrants from Poland and Russia). With a firm knowledge of classical music and Russian literature, Schreiber's mother has been described by Schreiber as a "far-out Socialist Labor Party hippie bohemian freak who hung out with William Burroughs".〔 When Heather was 12, her mother (Schreiber's grandmother) was lobotomized.〔 His mother has said that she named him after her favorite Russian author, Leo Tolstoy, while his father has stated that Schreiber was named after the doctor who saved his mother's life. His family nickname, adopted when Schreiber was a baby, is "Huggy". When Schreiber was one year old, his family moved to Canada,〔 winding up in the unincorporated rural area of Winlaw, British Columbia. It was here that his half-brother, actor Pablo Schreiber, was born. Prior to this point, according to Schreiber's father, at the beginning of their marriage (in San Francisco), Schreiber's mother had a bad experience on LSD. Over the next four years, she was repeatedly admitted to hospitals and underwent therapy.〔 After Schreiber's father threatened to admit her to a mental institution, she left with her son. With his father in pursuit, Schreiber and his mother were trailed by private detectives in various states; when he was three, his father kidnapped him from an upstate New York commune to which Heather had decamped. By the time Schreiber was four, he was living with her on the fourth floor of a dilapidated walkup at First Avenue and First Street in New York City (his half brothers from her first marriage were with their father in a duplex on Central Park West), and he was the object of a fierce custody battle, which bankrupted his maternal grandfather, Alex Milgram. Milgram, who was the most significant male in Schreiber’s youth, played the cello and owned Renoir etchings, and made his living by delivering meat to restaurants.〔 When Schreiber was five, his parents divorced; his mother won custody, and the two moved to a cold-water flat on the Lower East Side in Manhattan, New York City, where he was raised.〔〔(404 error ) 〕 They frequently had no electricity, hot water, or even beds.〔 His mother was "a highly cultured eccentric" who supported them by splitting her time between driving a cab and creating papier-mâché puppets."〔 On Schreiber's 16th birthday, his mother bought him a motorcycle "to promote fearlessness."〔 The critic John Lahr wrote in a 1999 ''New Yorker'' profile that, "To a large extent, Schreiber's professional shape-shifting and his uncanny instinct for isolating the frightened, frail, goofy parts of his characters are a result of being forced to adapt to his mother's eccentricities. It's both his grief and his gift."〔 He endured her mood swings and bohemian proclivities, which included making him take Hindu names, wear yoga shirts, and forcing Liev, briefly, to go to an Ashram school in Connecticut when he was 12. In high school, Liev played the bass clarinet.〔Kelly & Michael live, September 5, 2014〕 Schreiber's mother also forbade Schreiber from seeing color movies. As a result, his favorite actors were Charlie Chaplin and Basil Rathbone. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Schreiber, known then as Shiva Das, lived at the Satchidananda Ashram, Yogaville East, in Pomfret, Connecticut. He also abided by his mother's vegetarian diet. In retrospect, Schreiber said in a 2008 interview that he appreciates his mother's influences, saying: "Since I've had Sasha, I've completely identified with everything my mother went through raising me... and I think her choices were inspired." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liev Schreiber」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
