According to Mottola, Schreiber is a natural in these humorous parts, despite his serious reputation. “I couldn’t ask him to play a teenager in Superbad, but it’s one of my goals to do a comedy with Liev,” says the director. “Even his Iago was incredibly funny.”
As for becoming an honest-to-goodness Hollywood leading man, though, Schreiber seems more than happy to take his time. “I have a really weird idea about what’s interesting and what’s not,” he says as he prepares to leave, with a lobster roll to go for Watts. “I have a hard time getting interested in uncomplicated people, and romantic leads tend to be uncomplicated people. Also, it needs to be this natural evolution of me as an actor. I believe you go where you go naturally—you don’t try too hard to be something you’re not.”
