...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. "When this movie was released," he says, "no one saw it because William Randolph Hearst hated it. So the press killed it."
