Liev Schreiber on Playing 'the Cad'
Liev Schreiber is currently headlining Les Liaisons Dangereuses and on December 1 he stopped by LIVE with Kelly to chat about the Broadway revival. "I'm the cad," he helpfully explained about his role of Le Vicomte de Valmont. The Tony winner only met co-star Janet McTeer the day they did that sexy photo shoot, leading Schreiber to joke that when he assessed his career options back in the day, he went for: "this one where you make out with people as soon as you meet them, that looks like a good gig." The production is set to run through January 8, 2017 at the Booth Theatre.
