Education

Pablo studied at the Winlaw Elementary School. After his parents parted ways through a divorce, he was raised by his father in Seattle, Washington where he studied in an alternative Arts High School and scored a place on the varsity basketball team.

Alongside sports, he continued to participate in school musicals and plays. With the intention of pursuing his love for basketball which he liked more than acting, Pablo enrolled at the University of San Francisco hoping to make it on the college team.

The competition at college level basketball was tough and after he realized he was not athletically proficient enough to compete at that level, he took a spontaneous detour by auditioning for the drama program at Carnegie Mellon University. Pablo got in and graduated in 2000, immediately after which he signed up with an agent.

Girlfriend / Spouse

Pablo Schreiber has dated –

  1. Jessica Monty (2007–2013) – Pablo married Yoga Instructor, Cook and Health Counsellor, Jessica in 2007. Their marriage stayed strong through the first 5 years but it was widely speculated that Pablo’s rising profile as an actor threatened the stability of his personal life. Jessica filed for a divorce claiming irreconcilable differences right before Christmas 2013 which was finalized in 2015 largely in her favor. Pablo and Jessica share joint custody of their two sons named Timoteo Schreiber (to honor Jessica’s Cuban heritage) and Dante Schreiber.
  2. Karina Smirnoff (2014) – In early 2014, the paparazzi frequently spotted Pablo in the company of Greek-Russian professional ballroom dancer, Karina. She is best known for being cast as a regular choreographer on Dancing with the Stars and has a string of former relationships with famous men such as Mario Lopez, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and baseball player Brad Penny. Since Pablo was fresh out of a legal separation with a pending divorce settlement, his romance with Karina was possibly a rebound relationship and hence did not last long.

Personal Trainer

  • Pablo’s natural body composition is that of an ‘ectomorph’. He used to be a very thin guy with a high metabolism. Over the years, several movie and TV projects required him to gain serious muscle mass, a goal that he is able to achieve only upon consuming a lot of whole foods split into 6 meals a day.
  • For 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016), he gained 25 pounds of muscle. His body weight usually fluctuates between 200 lbs to 230 lbs (90 kg–104 kg) and the leanest he has ever been after the age of 30 was 190 lbs (86 kg).
  • Gaining muscle with minimum fat gain is a major concern for Pablo. Hence in 2017, he started training under the supervision of Eddie Raburn, a Psychological/Strength/Conditioning Performance coach who trains Pablo at Cal Coast Strength & Conditioning Facility in Ventura, California.
  • His training comprises of morning cardio usually in High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) format and a separate weight training session comprising of fundamental strength exercises, later in the day, focused on hypertrophy.
  • Over the years, Pablo has stayed fairly active and is comfortable using just about any kind of equipment in the gym from traditional weights to new age heavy kettlebells, battle ropes, gymnastics rings, and heavy punching bag for boxing. He has even trained consistently on a lesser known prop such as a slackline.
  • When the gym is inaccessible, Pablo depends on home workout DVDs such as P90X to get his daily dose of an intense workout.

  5. 10 years senior to Pablo in age, Liev was already an established actor when Pablo was in his teens. Once he asked Liev for a favor of setting him up with a casting director. Liev advised Pablo that even though he would be happy to help out his brother, Pablo would feel better about his achievements as an actor if he scored all his acting jobs only on the basis of his caliber. Pablo followed his advice and claims to have never regretted it.
  6. During a 2011 interview, Pablo shared that although he is a gentle person in real life, he also holds a lot of suppressed anger which might be one of the reasons he is drawn towards playing dark characters.

  14. While acting in an off-Broadway play, Gruesome Playground Injuries (2011), Pablo passed out on stage in front of an audience and woke up after a few seconds to say out loud “I think I passed out.” The audience did not react and thought it was a part of the play.
