Hot Chess Man

That DILF-y star of Showtime’s Ray Donovan, Liev Schreiber, is about to get brainy.

The Tony-winning actor is circling the Tobey Maguire-starring now-Ed Zwick-directed biopic of the chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer Pawn Sacrifice.

Schreiber would play the Russian chess champ Boris Spassky, with whom Fischer once went mano a mano.

Peter Sarsgaard is also in talks to join the project, as a priest who counsels Fischer through a crisis.
