Liev Schreiber is recovering in a New York City hospital after a sudden health scare sent him in for urgent medical care, as reported by TMZ.
Sources told TMZ the “Ray Donovan” star developed a massive headache on Sunday and immediately called his doctor, who told him to go to the hospital at once. The report states that the Emmy-nominated actor followed that advice and stayed overnight as doctors began evaluating him.
Doctors Running Multiple Tests as They Search for Answers
GettySources say Schreiber spent Monday undergoing a battery of tests as doctors try to determine what caused the episode. The exact issue remains unclear. Doctors have not yet identified the source of the problem, but Schreiber has remained alert and mobile. He can walk, speak, and move without difficulty, and he has full use of his limbs.
Despite the uncertainty, Schreiber’s condition appears stable. Those close to him say the actor has remained communicative as doctors continue diagnostic scans and examinations.
The urgency of Sunday’s symptoms prompted immediate action, allowing doctors to begin treating and monitoring him.
Schreiber Opened Up About Frightening Onstage Episode in 2024
GettyIn April 2024, the Tony-winning actor opened up about a frightening medical emergency he experienced during his Broadway run in “Doubt: A Parable.”
Appearing on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” the 56-year-old described a sudden, crushing headache that hit backstage before he walked out to perform.
People quoted the actor saying: “The worst nightmare that an actor could possibly ever experience,” he said, recalling how he couldn’t remember his costar Amy Ryan’s name and then blanked on the play entirely once he stepped into the spotlight. “It all vanishes. The play is gone from my head … I know I’m in a play, but I don’t know what play I’m in,” he shared.
Seeing the fear on his doctor’s and wife’s faces, he assumed he had suffered a stroke.
An MRI later cleared him, and a neurologist diagnosed him with transient global amnesia, a condition he joked can follow “migraines and rigorous coitus.”
Schreiber is a father of three children. He shares his son, Sasha, and daughter, Kai, 16, with ex-partner Naomi Watts. He also has a daughter, Hazel Bee, 2, with his wife, Taylor Neisen. An official statement has not yet been issued about his health emergency.
Latest Update: (9:07 pm ET)
Liev’s rep told TMZ that Schreiber went to the hospital “out of an abundance of caution” and has now been cleared. “Out of an abundance of caution, Liev went into the hospital for testing and as of this afternoon, he has been cleared to return to work,” the statement read.
