I can now add actor Pablo Schreiber on to the list of actors whose hotness I missed for far too long. I knew who he was, and even posted briefly about him after seeing him in an episode of Orange Is the New Black. (HERE:) Problem was, Schreiber is a bit of a chameleon, and morphs into his characters so well, it's often difficult to separate the actor from role.
This is a good thing of course, but sometimes you have to really pay attention to see what's under the moustaches, costumes and make-up. I stopped watching Orange is the New Black after the first season, and except for some Hunter Parrish clips, have not watched Weeds. Although it's on my 'watch' list, I still haven't started The Wire.
I did however, binge the Hulu limited series Candy last week. I'm not really a Jessica Biel fan, but my love of actress Melanie Lynskey had me wanting to give it a try. I wasn't even aware Schreiber was in the series until I started watching. Like many of his other roles, the actor's sex appeal was downplayed in the series, at least in the beginning, but sometimes, sex appeal can't really be hidden.
I the show's first episode, there's a scene where Allan Gore, (Schreiber) gets out of bed in his boxers and t-shirt, puts on his robe, and walks outside to let the dogs out. There was something about Schreiber, and especially his walk, that was incredibly sexy. If you've seen the series, I think you know what I mean. That walk, and his legs in his volleyball shorts, made it clear why Candy chose him for her extramarital affair.
The Canadian born Schreiber was born in a hippie commune in British Columbia. His father was American actor Tell Schreiber and his mother was Canadian psychotherapist Lorraine Reaveley. Schreiber's half-brother is actor Liev Schreiber, the son of Tell and his first wife. Schreiber's parents divorced when the actor was just 12, and then moved to Seattle to live with his father.
