In 1992 Schreiber acted in the comedic play ''[[Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)]]'' by [[Ann-Marie MacDonald]] at the [[Classic Stage Company]]. The following year he made his [[Broadway (theatre)|Broadway]] debut as Eliot in the [[Jane Bowles]] play ''[[Jane Bowles|In the Summer House]]'' (1994) acting opposite [[Frances Conroy]].<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.playbill.com/production/in-the-summer-house-vivian-beaumont-theatre-vault-0000011245|title= In the Summer House|website= Playbill|access-date= February 6, 2024}}</ref> That same year he made his feature film debut as Chris, a depressed [[trans woman]] in the [[Nora Ephron]] directed dark comedy film ''[[Mixed Nuts]]'' (1994) starring [[Steve Martin]]. In 1995 he had supporting roles in the independent films ''[[Mad Love (1995 film)|Mad Love]]'' and ''[[Party Girl (1995 film)|Party Girl]]''. His first leading film roles in the [[Greg Mottola]] comedy-drama ''[[The Daytrippers]]'' and [[Nicole Holofcener]]'s ''[[Walking and Talking]]'' were both released in 1996. Following Schreiber's string of supporting roles in various independent films, his big break came when he played the accused murderer [[List of Scream (film series) characters#Cotton Weary|Cotton Weary]] in the ''[[Scream (franchise)|Scream]]'' trilogy of horror films. Though the success of the ''Scream'' trilogy led Schreiber to roles in several big-budget studio pictures, ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' wrote in 2007 that "Schreiber is [still] best known for such indie gems as ''[[Walking and Talking]]'', ''[[The Daytrippers]]'', and ''[[Big Night]]''."<ref name="weekly">{{cite magazine| author=Rice, Lynette| url=https://ew.com/article/2007/01/19/esprit-dcorpse-liev-schreiber-talks-csi/| date=January 26, 2007| title=Liev Among the Dead| magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]| access-date=January 29, 2007}}</ref>

After ''Scream,'' Schreiber was cast as [[Orson Welles]] in the [[Home Box Office|HBO]] film ''[[RKO 281]]'' (1999). Laura Fries of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' wrote of his performance, "Schreiber, as Welles, manages to capture the essence of a man of many passions, and creates a nice balance of hubris and self-loathing to give the part real depth".<ref>{{cite web|url= https://variety.com/1999/tv/reviews/rko-281-1200459734/|title= RKO 281|website= Variety|date= November 15, 1999|access-date= February 6, 2024}}</ref> He earned nominations for the [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie]] and [[Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Miniseries or Television Film]].

Along with his screen work, Schreiber is a well-respected classical actor; in a 1998 review of the [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]] play ''[[Cymbeline]]'', ''[[The New York Times]]'' called his performance "revelatory" and ended the article with the plea, "More Shakespeare, Mr. Schreiber."<ref>{{cite news| author=Marks, Peter| url=https://www.nytimes.com/1998/08/17/theater/theater-review-fairy-tale-plottings-of-a-british-royal-family.html| date=August 17, 1998| title=Theater Review: Fairy-Tale Plottings of a British Royal Family| work=The New York Times| access-date=January 11, 2007}}</ref> A year later, Schreiber played the title role in ''[[Hamlet]]'' in a December 1999 revival at [[The Public Theater]], to similar raves.

"He has a swiftness of mind," Lahr wrote, "which convinces the audience that language is being coined in the moment. His speech, unlike that of the merely adequate supporting cast, feels lived rather than learned."<ref>{{cite magazine|author=Lahr, John|title=Time Trials|pages=88–91|url=https://www.newyorker.com/archive/2003/07/28/030728crth_theatre|magazine=The New Yorker|date=July 28, 2003|access-date=May 21, 2008}}</ref>

Schreiber told ''[[The New Yorker]]'' in 1999, "I don't know that I want to be an actor for the rest of my life." For a time in the late 1990s, he hoped to produce and direct an adaptation of ''[[The Merchant of Venice]]'' starring [[Dustin Hoffman]].<ref name="newyorker"/> During that time, Schreiber started writing a screenplay about his relationship with his [[Ukrainian people|Ukrainian]] grandfather, a project he abandoned when, according to ''[[The New York Times]],'' "he read [[Jonathan Safran Foer]]'s hit novel, ''[[Everything Is Illuminated]],'' and decided Mr. Foer had done it better."<ref name="mercy">{{cite news|author=Finn, Robin|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/08/nyregion/a-role-that-s-hard-to-shake-off-the-9-11-antihero.html|date=January 8, 2003|title=A Role That's Hard to Shake Off: The 9/11 Antihero|work=The New York Times|access-date=March 22, 2008}}</ref> Schreiber's [[Everything Is Illuminated (film)|film adaptation]] of the short story from which the novel originated, which he both wrote and directed, was released in 2005.
