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 âRay Donovanâ 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
Sources 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, Schreiberâs condition appears stable. Those close to him say the actor has remained communicative as doctors continue diagnostic scans and examinations.
The urgency of Sundayâs symptoms prompted immediate action, allowing doctors to begin treating and monitoring him.
Schreiber Opened Up About Frightening Onstage Episode in 2024
In April 2024, the Tony-winning actor opened up about a frightening medical emergency he experienced during his Broadway run in âDoubt: A Parable.â
Appearing on âLate Night with Seth Meyers,â the 56-year-old described a sudden, crushing headache that hit backstage before he walked out to perform.
People quoted the actor saying: âThe worst nightmare that an actor could possibly ever experience,â he said, recalling how he couldnât remember his costar Amy Ryanâs name and then blanked on the play entirely once he stepped into the spotlight. âIt all vanishes. The play is gone from my head ⦠I know Iâm in a play but I donât know what play Iâm in,â he shared.
Seeing the fear on his doctorâs and wifeâs 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 âmigraines and rigorous coitus.â
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.
This is a developing story, and it will be updated as more information becomes available.
