Overview
Pablo Schreiber’s career after Nick Sobotka combines television antagonists, action leads and significant stage work. His performance as George ‘Pornstache’ Mendez in Orange Is the New Black earned a 2015 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series. Other recognizable television parts include William Lewis in Law & Order: SVU and Mad Sweeney in American Gods. He moved into a different scale of production as Master Chief John-117 in Halo, the live-action adaptation of the science-fiction game franchise. His work also includes the Hulu limited series Candy and films such as 13 Hours, Den of Thieves and Skyscraper. The contrast matters: his subsequent career has not been confined to variations on a Baltimore dockworker. His stage record includes a 2006 Tony nomination for Ralph Berger in Awake and Sing! and a 2009 Broadway performance as Eben Cabot in Desire Under the Elms. IBDB also records a Drama Desk acting win for the Off-Broadway Reasons to Be Pretty. In 2026, Schreiber appears as Richard in His & Hers, sharing the cast with former Wire colleague Chris Bauer. Richard works in television news, a different setting for another uneasy ensemble story.
