He was nominated for a Tony Award for his performance in Awake and Sing! on Broadway. He has also performed work for audiobooks.

Early life

Schreiber was born in Canada.[1] His American father, Tell Schreiber, was an actor, as is his half-brother Liev. His mother, Lorraine Reaveley, is a Canadian body-based psychotherapist.[2] He was named after Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (his father had a strong interest in literature).[1] Schreiber grew up in Winlaw, British Columbia.[3] His parents split when he was 12 and Schreiber moved to Seattle with his father.[1] After high school, Schreiber enrolled at the University of San Francisco, where he hoped to win a spot on its basketball team.[4] He later transferred to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and graduated in 2000 with a degree in theatre.

Career

He appeared in the films The Manchurian Candidate, Lords of Dogtown and Happythankyoumoreplease. He also had a guest role on Law & Order: Criminal Intent and appeared in the FX series Lights Out.

In 2011, Schreiber starred in the Off-Broadway play Gruesome Playground Injuries at Second Stage Theatre. He appeared on the seventh season of Weeds as Demetri Ravitch, Nancy Botwin's drug supplier.[5]

BuddyTV ranked him number seventy-seven on its list of "TV's Sexiest Men of 2011".[6]

In October 2012, Schreiber landed the recurring role of George "Pornstache" Mendez on the Netflix original drama series Orange Is the New Black.[7] On February 26, 2013, he co-starred as Virgil in NBC's drama pilot Ironside, a reboot of the 1967 series of the same name.[8] He was also cast as a recurring character in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in its 14th and 15th season.

Personal life
