Liev Schreiber, 58, has been seen for the first time since he checked out of a hospital earlier this week.
The Ray Donovan actor had been rushed to a New York City hospital when he was experiencing intense pain from a headache.
On Thursday evening the movie star was spotted in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan.
He had on a green Slainte: Irish Whiskey cap with a brown corduroy jacket and matching slacks with his gold wedding band in place.
The thespian wore a mustache and slight beard as carried a brown bag down a street. Schreiber did not seem to be recognized.
On Tuesday he broke his silence about his concerning headache that caused doctors to give him a ‘battery of tests.’

His rep told the Daily Mail that Schreiber is doing much better, saying in a statement: ‘Out of an abundance of caution, Liev went into the hospital for testing and as of this afternoon, he has been cleared to return to work.’
The actor had been in Philadelphia filming an untitled Apple TV+ thriller based on Lars Kepler’s bestselling Killer Instinct.
A source has told the Daily Mail that Schreiber has been left ’embarrassed’ by all the attention his hospital visit has garnered and does not like that people knew he went to the hospital for a headache as it makes him look ‘weak’ when he is at the height of his career.
But the star is also just glad he is feeling much better as the pain was ‘intolerable’ and he is grateful to the doctors who helped him.
The star was able to move about fine on Monday and later checked out of the hospital, the site also noted.
It’s not the first time the actor has had a health scare related to a headache.

In 2024, he revealed that he was diagnosed with a rare condition called transient global amnesia (TGA), brought on by a migraine, while starring in ‘Doubt: A Parable’ on Broadway.
TGA is a rare, benign condition characterized by a sudden episode of memory loss that resolves completely within 24 hours, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
‘The worst nightmare that an actor could possibly ever experience. I was in my dressing room and I had a terrible headache. I thought it was maybe a fast-food headache, but it felt a little stronger than that,’ he shared during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
‘I’m walking down the stairs and I’m thinking, “This is not normal. I don’t feel okay.”‘
He said he knew ‘something was really wrong’ when he saw his co-star, Amy Ryan, backstage but could not remember her name.

His condition worsened when he stepped back onstage and could not remember his lines.
‘It all vanishes,’ he explained. ‘The play is gone from my head… I know I’m in a play, but I don’t know what play I’m in.’
‘My doctor, who’s a friend, shows up, and he had a terrified expression. My wife shows up, and she looks terrified. I think, “Okay, I’ve had a stroke. This is it.”‘
Despite being diagnosed with Transient Global Amnesia, Schreiber was certain he had suffered a stroke.
‘The guy said, “You’ll never have this again and it’ll be gone in 8 to 24 hours,” which I didn’t believe. You know, as a typical sort of Jewish hypochondriac person, I’m convinced that I had a stroke and they just didn’t find it.’
Schreiber revealed that he got an MRI and it showed that there was no brain bleed, and that his brain looked ‘perfectly fine.’
‘Apparently it’s brought on by migraines and rigorous coitus,’ he quipped.
‘I go to sleep, I wake up, I remember the whole play,’ he recalled. ‘I never had another problem with it. I was embarrassed and thought everyone would think I was lying and taking a night off from the theater.’
Schreiber made his breakthrough in the 1996 movie Scream. His more recent credits are The Perfect Couple and Caught Stealing. Seen in a still from The Perfect Couple with Nicole Kidman
Meyers joked that it was ‘so sad’ that the Emmy-nominated star got TGA from a migraine and not from sex.
‘I know! When the other option is to literally have your brains f***** out, I had to get it from a migraine,’ Schreiber said with a laugh.
Schreiber is perhaps best known for starring in the title role of the Showtime crime drama series Ray Donovan, which aired from 2013 until 2020.
The San Francisco native is married to Taylor Neisen, 32; they met in 2017, married in July 2023, and had their first child, a daughter named Hazel Bee, in August 2023.
He also shares son Sasha, 17, and daughter Kai, 16 — who came out as transgender earlier this year — with his ex Naomi, 57. The pair dated for 11 years before splitting up in September 2016.
