Liev Schreiber, known for his role in “Ray Donovan,” was admitted to a hospital on Sunday evening after experiencing a severe headache. The actor, who previously had a long-term relationship with Naomi Watts, spent the night under medical supervision following the doctor’s advice.

According to TMZ, Schreiber underwent a series of tests on Monday as part of the hospital’s efforts to diagnose the cause of his discomfort. Despite the concerning symptoms, the 58-year-old actor from New York was reportedly able to move around without difficulty during his stay.

The precise reason behind Schreiber’s headache remains unknown, and efforts to gather more information from his representatives are ongoing. The Daily Mail has reached out for additional comments on the situation.

Schreiber gained widespread recognition with his role in the 1996 film “Scream” and has since appeared in other notable projects like “The Perfect Couple” and “Caught Stealing.”

Schreiber made his breakthrough in the 1996 movie Scream. His more recent credits are The Perfect Couple and Caught Stealing.

The San Francisco native is married to Taylor Neisen; they met in 2017, married in July 2023, and had their first child, a daughter named Hazel Bee, in August 2023.

He also shares son Sasha, 17, and daughter Kai, 16 — who came out as transgender earlier this year — with his ex Naomi, 57. 

It’s not the first time the actor has had a health scare related to a headache.

In 2024, he revealed that he was diagnosed with a rare condition called transient global amnesia while starring in ‘Doubt: A Parable’ on Broadway.

Schreiber recently revealed why he became an actor in an interview with Italian publication IO Donna.

He said: ‘As a child, I was fascinated by clowns and enjoyed entertaining my family. My mother was a bit of a hippie; she placed more importance on art than money: she was a taxi driver, and as soon as she had some, she’d spend it on taking us to the movies or the theatre.’ 

Liev insisted his grandfather Alex – who emigrated to America from Ukraine and played the cello – was more of an influence and inspiration for him to go into acting than his dad, Tell Schreiber, who was an actor and theatre director. 

When asked what influence Tell had on him, Liev said: ‘Perhaps I was more inspired by the circus, where my grandfather took me. ‘At the exit, they sold little swords for children, and I remember playing with them in front of Madison Square Garden, thinking about The Legend of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn. 

‘My parents separated when I was four, and I grew up mostly with my mother, who was a bit of a hippie socialist who even lived in squats; artistic education was more important than anything else. We went to a movie theatre on Eighth Street where they showed old black-and-white films, but I think I appreciated them more as I grew older.’

Schreiber – who has vivid memories of watching films starring Charlie Chaplin and the Marx Brothers with his mother – is dad to daughter Hazel, his child with wife Taylor Neisen. 

The star is enjoying being a father in his 50s and says children give you a solid grounding when you work in Hollywood. 

The Hollywood actor – who has two teenage children from his relationship with actress Watts – said: ‘I could have had a more relaxed life, but with a small child, you have to provide stability, respect sleep and meal times. Children keep you grounded. 

‘When I had my first two, who are now 17 and 18, it was a strange time: my ex and I were the center of attention, and success can make you lose your sense of reality. Children bring you back to what’s truly important.’
