Broadway Star Liev Schreiber Suffers Transient Global Amnesia

On November 16, 2025, acclaimed actor Liev Schreiber, 58, was hospitalized in New York City after suffering from a massive headache. Schreiber alerted his doctor and was instructed to go to the hospital, where he underwent several tests and remained overnight. His representative later confirmed that Schreiber has been cleared to return to work, stating that he was admitted "out of an abundance of caution."

This is not the first time Schreiber has experienced a frightening headache-related incident. Last year, he opened up about an episode of severe head pain that led to him having amnesia during a performance of the Broadway play Doubt: A Parable. Schreiber recalled forgetting the lines and being unable to remember which play he was in, even as he was on stage. After undergoing medical tests, he was diagnosed with transient global amnesia, a condition typically brought on by migraines or strenuous physical activity.

Despite the scare, Schreiber is expected to make a full recovery and return to his work. The recent hospitalization serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking medical attention for any concerning health issues, even for seasoned performers like Schreiber.
