Liev Schreiber

The film actor spends his nights on stage in ''Glengarry Glen Ross''

Age 37

Mustworthiness Among the nation's finest Shakespearean thesps, Schreiber (last seen on screen in The Manchurian Candidate) now juggles nights performing in David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross — he's a Tony winner for playing Chicago sales shark Ricky Roma — and days editing his film adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything Is Illuminated.

The Agony and Ecstasy of Multitasking ''We started talking about [Glengarry] when I was in Prague [shooting Everything]. I assumed I'd be done with the film much sooner. I wasn't envisioning these full days in the cutting room. For a while, I thought it was a stupid decision to take the play. In retrospect, I'm glad I did.''

For the Tony or the Cussing?''The play is full of so much profanity it's actually a great vent for the frustrations of editing.''

Next Sleep. ''Man, am I gonna sleep. It'll be the first recorded case of human hibernation.''
