Pablo Schreiber ("Tanto")


Although Krasinski had more of a lead role, Pablo really has an on-screen magnetism even in a supporting role. He has been good in everything I've seen him in.

I still think his part - whether vital in real life or not - was strictly there for some comic relief.

The situation was really disturbing and needed some lightening up. Although I have to say the ending where he is on the roof and starts laughing/crying when the reinforcements came was a little too much over acting for me. It was uncomfortable.

Anyway, you see him on the episode of "Medium"? Great performance.


reply

Yeah, I watched that show but don't remember. Who did he play?

reply

He played a a serial killer working with his girlfriend. Allison and Scanlon see him at one of the crime scenes and when he sees the detective coming towards him, he runs away and gets hit by a car. He tries to communicate to his girlfriend through Allison after he dies.

...oh wow. So he played a serial killer on both Medium and Law & Order: SVU.

reply

I could probably look it up, but don't really feel like it. Never saw the L&O episode.

But he is a great actor. Wish he was in more stuff.

reply

Never saw the L&O episode.

Really? That was a multi-part episode in which he was hailed for giving a tour de force performance.

reply

My apologies for the delayed response. You're right. I just watched the multi-part episodes with him on Hulu. Wow, Schreiber definitely has the creepy guy act down. He really had me going.

It looks like he has been on all the L&Os.

I totally agree with you mate and was going to start a similar thread. He was great in this movie and like also in Law & Order: SVU with Benson taken hostage! Yep he's been in Law & Order different years as different characters.

He hasn't done many movies, mainly TV Shows though but that will change after this!

If you are not willing to give up everything, you have already lost

I'm surprised no one mention his role as "Pornstache" in Orange is the New Black. Great role, he played it well.

reply

Thats where I know him from and yeah, good actor.

reply

he's great in season 2 of The Wire as well. Great actor.

He's superb in The Wire season 2, did the best he could with a *beep* cousin like Ziggy.

reply

yeah but both got in way over their heads.


"..I intend to live forever......So far, so good..."

I saw this film yesterday and found him to be very effective in both the dramatic segments and the light relief which shows his versatility. I've seen him before in several tv productions where he plays villains convincingly. I hope he gets more work in future because he is compelling in the same way Adam Driver is...they both have mega magnetism imo.

It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds.

reply

I thought he was obnoxious in the but he is great in his recurring role in SVU
