What Liev Schreiber From Scream 2 Is Doing Now

With the recent release of this year's "Scream" movie, otherwise known as "Scream 5," many fans are likely taking the time to rewatch the entire series before they see the most recent installment of the horror classic. It all started back in 1996 with Drew Barrymore, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Matthew Lillard, among others. The original "Scream" received mostly positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, with some noting that it puts a humorous and meta spin on the slasher genre. Fast forward to 2022, and this year's "Scream" is receiving similar praise, earning fresh scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Of all the "Scream" movies, however, only the original, this year's "Scream," and "Scream 2" have mostly positive feedback from audiences and critics. "Scream 3" and "Scream 4" seemed to miss the mark for most, with the third installment being "Certified Rotten" and its follow-up barely making it over the fresh 60% mark on Rotten Tomatoes, with the average audience rankings sinking even lower. 

"Scream 2" is actually the most critically approved film in the entire series and follows Sidney (Campbell) and Gale (Cox) after they survived the events of the first film, discovering that a copycat killer of Ghostface is now on the loose. "Scream 2" had some more returning names in its cast as well, such as Liev Schreiber. Schreiber notably plays Cotton Weary — the man exonerated for the rape and murder of Sidney's mother. He actually becomes pivotal at the end of "Scream 2" in saving Sidney and Gale from their deaths, although his motives are grounded in aspirations of fame. Schreiber's follow-up appearance in "Scream 3" is brief, however, given his character's murder early in the film. Here's what the actor has been doing since playing Cotton in the "Scream" movies.
