Actor Liev Schreiber was admitted to a New York hospital yesterday following the sudden onset of a severe headache. The 58-year-old, known for his role in the crime drama *Ray Donovan*, contacted his doctor due to the alarming symptoms, who advised immediate hospitalisation for urgent assessment. Upon arrival, Schreiber underwent a comprehensive series of medical tests. Early evaluations indicate that he remains fully conscious and responsive. Reports confirm that he can speak clearly, walk without difficulty, and move all limbs normally, suggesting he did not suffer a stroke or significant neurological impairment. Despite these reassuring signs, medical staff are closely monitoring Schreiber as he awaits further test results. He described the headache as "massive," according to initial reports. This incident is not the first time Schreiber has faced a sudden medical episode. He previously recounted a frightening experience while performing on Broadway, where he suffered from transient global amnesia. During that episode, he experienced a powerful headache backstage and realised something was amiss when he could not remember the name of a co-star standing in front of him. When he stepped onto the stage, he found himself unable to recall his lines or even the play he was performing. Schreiber later described the sensation as if his entire memory had vanished. An MRI at the time ruled out serious conditions like a stroke or brain bleed, leading to a diagnosis of transient global amnesia. Fortunately, his memory returned fully by the next morning, and doctors noted that the condition typically resolves without long-term effects. Currently, it remains unclear whether the severe headache that led to his hospitalisation is related to his previous episode. While migraines have been associated with transient global amnesia, no definitive conclusions have been reached regarding Schreiber's current health situation, and testing is ongoing. In his personal life, Schreiber is married to Taylor Neisen, with whom he shares a young daughter. He also has two older children, Sasha and Kai, from his previous relationship with actress Naomi Watts. Family members are reportedly by his side as he continues to receive medical evaluation.
