His mother, Lorraine Reaveley, is a Canadian body-based psychotherapist.[2] He was named after Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (his father had a strong interest in literature).[3] His parents split when he was 12 and Schreiber moved to Seattle, Washington, with his father.[3] After high school, Schreiber enrolled at the University of San Francisco, where he hoped to win a spot on its basketball team.[4] He later transferred to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and graduated in 2000 with a degree in Theatre.

In 2011, Schreiber starred in the Off-Broadway play Gruesome Playground Injuries at Second Stage Theatre. He appeared on the seventh season of Weeds as Demetri Ravitch, Nancy Botwin's drug supplier.[5]
BuddyTV ranked him number seventy-seven on its list of "TV's Sexiest Men of 2011".[6]
In October 2012, Schreiber landed the recurring role of George "Pornstache" Mendez on the Netflix original drama series Orange Is the New Black.[7] On February 26, 2013, he co-starred as Virgil in NBC's drama pilot Ironside, a reboot of the 1967 series of the same name.[8]
