"Jenji has provided a platform for women of all different types, who you don't normally see onscreen, to get their moment to shine, and that's a beautiful thing. "I was an island of masculine energy," Schreiber says, chuckling. He grabbed it and ran with such gusto, she brought him back for Seasons 2 and 3. Weeds introduced him to Jenji Kohan, who wrote a smallish part for him in Season 1 of Orange Is the New Black.

"I want to make sure they feel connected to me and that my presence is strong in their lives."Īs to his other roles, after graduating from Carnegie Mellon University in 2000 with a degree in theatre, Schreiber moved steadily from small parts in films and guest spots on TV series to meatier roles on Season 2 of The Wire and Season 7 of Weeds. "The most important role in my life is father," he says. Pablo has two sons of his own now, aged 7 and 4 (he and their mother separated in 2013). Again, Pablo won't talk about that, other than to say he didn't meet Liev until he was 16. His fear was rational: Throughout Pablo's childhood, Tell fought a years-long custody battle with his first wife, Heather Milgram, over Pablo's half-brother, actor Liev Schreiber, who is 10 years older than Pablo. And I think I was worried he'd go away and never come back." (Pablo was named for the poet Pablo Neruda.) They divorced when he was 12, and he chose to move to Seattle with his father. His father, Tell, is an actor his mother, Lorraine, a body-based psychotherapist. "I think that was formative for me, in developing confidence at being alone, being okay by myself." Growing up in Winlaw, B.C., the youngest of three siblings, "I played a lot by myself," he says.

Schreiber may have learned his circumspection early. It's about these six guys and how they behaved admirably in difficult, chaotic circumstances. "That's way beyond my pay grade," he says. He also refuses to comment on the ongoing controversy over who is responsible for the debacle. If he sees any irony in the fact that Paronto's enemies felt the same way he did, Schreiber doesn't say. That to me was interesting, because I don't have that perspective for myself." "Their sense of who they are is tied directly to their sense that God is there to protect them. "Faith is really important to these guys," he says.

Late in the film, he gets a nice monologue about how enemy fire doesn't frighten him, and Schreiber makes the most of it. Schreiber plays Kris (Tanto) Paronto, the guard who always punctures tensions with a goofy joke. ambassador Chris Stevens, an aide and two of the security forces died, and Hillary Clinton, then-secretary of state, is still fielding the fallout. The situation escalated quickly friends and foes were indistinguishable and the U.S. 11, 2012, when Islamic militants attacked the consulate and compound. consulate, the not-so-secret Central Intelligence Agency compound nearby, Libya's fraught political situation, the tensions between the CIA staff and their six-member security team (military vets with special training). Asked to expound on how Bay's set was "chaotic," he demurs.ġ3 Hours, which is based on a book that journalist Mitchell Zuckoff co-wrote with security team members who were there, spends a short time introducing us to the set-up in Benghazi: the permeable U.S. For example, Schreiber volunteers that Michael Bay, the polarizing director of 13 Hours and the Transformers series, "shoots faster than anybody in the business, and that can create a vibe on set that can be disorienting." But he hastens to add that being disoriented was an appropriate state in which to make 13 Hours.
