Liev Schreiber is an American actor best known for his work in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and "Ray Donovan." Currently starring in "Ray Donovan" as the titular character, Schreiber is one of TV's best leading men. He's had an incredibly successful career in which he's starred in over fifty films, appeared in a dozen television shows and dazzled audiences on stage. Schreiber boasts a net worth of $16 million, further proving just how successful he is. His ability to create gripping characters and shine in any role he takes on helped him achieve his impressive career. His large net worth is something he's earned over the course of his time in Hollywood.

Schreiber appeared in a series of movies throughout the 1990s, but he got his big break when he landed the role of Cotton Weary in the "Scream" trilogy. Having worked mostly on small independent dramas before earning his supporting role in the horror series, "Scream" was Schreiber's first time starring in a true blockbuster movie. Doors flew open for Schreiber after the success of "Scream" and he went on to star as a young Orson Welles in the HBO film "RKO 281." Schreiber's performance in the historical drama earned him both Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominations. By the year 2000, Schreiber had solidified himself as a talented actor capable of tackling any role.

Schreiber had officially hit it big by the time his character Cotton Weary met his demise in "Scream 3," leaving him with an array of audition opportunities throughout the 2000s. He began working alongside some of Hollywood's most prominent stars and landing more starring roles himself. In 2004 Schreiber starred alongside Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep in the remake of "The Manchurian Candidate." The highly anticipated political drama didn't disappoint, gaining the praise of critics and earning Golden Globe nominations and even a Saturn Award for Schreiber himself. "The Manchurian Candidate" proved Schreiber could not only pull off a strong dramatic role, but also keep up with Academy Award-winning talent as well. One of his most iconic roles came in 2009 when he played the role of Victor Creed, also known as Sabretooth, in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine". Schreiber played opposite Hugh Jackman, who he'd worked with years before in a romantic comedy, and the two actors matched each other beat for beat. Schreiber has shown his ability to take on different roles and genres, which is why he's widely regarded as one of Hollywood's most versatile actors. He's starred in everything from a teen slasher film to an indie drama, and he never fails to shine on screen.

With a master's degree from the Yale School of Drama, it's only fitting that Schreiber has an impressive amount of stage work on his resume. Considered to be a well-respected classical actor, Schreiber has starred in plays on and off Broadway and has received rave reviews for his performances in Shakespeare plays. Critics are often begging Schreiber to do more Shakespeare, as he brings something to the playwright's words that most actors can't. He has the rare ability to bring the text to life and make it seem natural and in the moment rather than a line learned in rehearsal weeks before. His performances have been called 'revelatory' and he constantly leaves audiences in awe due to his impeccable talent. Schreiber has been nominated for three Tony Awards over the course of his theater career. In 2005, he rightfully won the award for his performance in the Broadway revival of "Glengarry Glen Ross." His most recent theater work was in 2016, when he starred in a limited engagement revival of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses." Critics and fans alike agree Schreiber is at home on stage and long for more of his Broadway work.

"Ray Donovan" is Schreiber's most recognizable role to date, and a big reason for his large net worth. Schreiber stars as Ray Donovan himself, a "fixer" for the rich and famous who gets his clients the outcome they desire, no matter what it takes. A loving father on one end and a common criminal on the other, Schreiber plays both parts of the character with ease. The series has received numerous award nominations and wins since it's second season, everything from the Primetime Emmys to the Critics' Choice Awards, and Schreiber is currently nominated for the upcoming Golden Globes.

When he's not collecting Golden Globe nominations, Schreiber is spending time with his family. Schreiber is a devoted father of two boys that he loves dearly. Pictures of his children are often found on his Instagram profile, and he doesn't do an interview without at least mentioning them once. In 2017, Schreiber even took a voice-over role in "My Little Pony: The Movie" so he'd have a kid-friendly project his children could enjoy. Schreiber was linked to actress Naomi Watts for eleven years. She's the mother of Schreiber's children, and although they chose to part ways last year they've agreed to keep raising their kids together. The breakup seems to be amicable and the two still have love and respect for each other despite ending their marriage. Recently, Schreiber has been spotted with Gerard Butler's ex Morgan Brown. The two were first seen together eight months after Schreiber and Naomi Watts split. Whether or not things are serious between Schreiber and Morgan Brown is still a mystery, as the successful actor seems more dedicated to his family than dating at the moment.

What's next for Schreiber? Well, currently he's waiting patiently for the Golden Globe Awards show, hoping this year is his year to bring home the statue. Fingers crossed. "Ray Dononvan" has been renewed for another season, set to premiere next year and there's no word on when the hit drama plans on having its last. For now, Schreiber is focusing on his television series and spending as much time with his family as possible. With his enviable net worth, he can take as much time off as he wants. After a busy career of filming movies, starring on stage and making television appearances simultaneously, Schreiber's earned the right to take it easy these days.
