...only realized this year what a luxury it is not to get overexposed," says LIEV SCHREIBER. Rather than practicing false humility, the actor is acknowledging how intense media attention can hobble a career. As an example, he cites Orson Welles, whom he portrays in HBO's upcoming RKO 281, the story of the making of Citizen Kane.
