Liev Schreiber rushed to the aid of a fan in the audience during his performance of Arthur Miller's "A View From the Bridge" in New York City last night.
According to a witness, a woman in the audience started screaming for help during the play. When the lights came up, it was revealed that her husband was slumped over in his seat.
That's when, according to the eye witness, "Liev Schreiber sprung to action." He came from behind the set of the stage and ran up to the seats of the man and woman to try and help as much as he could. There was a doctor in the audience (isn't there always?) and they provided medical attention until help arrived.
Paramedics confirmed they were called to the theater and the patient was transported. There was no immediate update on his condition, but we're told the man was conscious and responsive before he left.

Paramedics tell TMZ a male was transported from the studio at around 10:14 AM.
Coleman was hospitalized on January 6 after suffering what he called "a little seizure activity."
Coleman walked off the show last week, after the panel repeatedly asked him if he beat his wife.
Sean Penn is personally responsible for saving two lives Thursday during a rescue mission in Haiti -- a woman and an orphan child badly injured in the rubble of a collapsed building ... TMZ has learned.
Penn -- who runs the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization -- drove an hour and a half with his daughter Dylan to rescue a woman and child who were trapped in rubble outside Port-au-Prince, possibly from an aftershock.
An eyewitness tells TMZ Penn helped extricate the woman, who suffered leg injuries, and the child, who suffered head injuries. Penn drove them in his truck to the University of Miami hospital camp in Port-au-Prince.
We're told Penn waited while the woman and child were treated for their injuries and then took them back to his place.
The woman and the child have nowhere to go, and Penn won't leave them until they have a safe place to go.
Tila Tequila made a call to paramedics last night after she fell off her chair and "dented" her head -- her words, not ours.

Tila's next entry: "Ambulance on the way to my house. I could have a brain concussion and die ina few hours."
Tila's agent provided the final tweet of the night, saying Tila suffered a concussion and wouldn't be able to tweet any further updates. Tila was released from the hospital and returned home last night.

A much happier Charlie Sheen visited Brooke Mueller today in the hospital -- and this time he was allowed to talk to his wife. Late yesterday, the judge in Charlie's Aspen case relaxed the protective order and allowed Charlie to have contact with Brooke while she's laid up in the hospital.
As we previously reported, Brooke was hospitalized yesterday for pneumonia. We're told she's still in ICU.
Lawyers in the Charlie Sheen criminal case just met with the judge and the motion to modify the protective order has officially been moved to February 8 -- because Brooke Mueller is really, really ill.
TMZ first reported Brooke was taken to the hospital yesterday and placed in ICU: She has pneumonia and a high fever.
The Aspen judge in Charlie Sheen's criminal case loosened the restraining order yesterday, to allow Sheen to have contact with his wife while she's in the hospital.
We got video of Sheen coming and going from the hospital yesterday.
Lawyers told the judge in court today Brooke will be in the hospital for awhile.
Charlie Sheen just left the hospital where wife Brooke Mueller is recovering from a nasty infection that landed her in the ICU ... and he says she's doing "fine."
As we first reported, Brooke was pumped full of antibiotics and she's now bouncing back from a 105 degree fever. Brooke's lawyer, Yale Galanter, tells TMZ she should be released from the hospital today and he expects the hearing on the protective order will still be heard in an Aspen court on Friday.
And, as we reported, legal docs should be filed shortly to allow Charlie to communicate with Brooke while she's in the hospital. Under the current protective order, Charlie can be in the same room with Mueller but can't communicate with her.
Charlie Sheen's lawyer has just filed legal docs, asking the Aspen judge to allow him to communicate with his wife Brooke Mueller while she's in the hospital.
As we first reported, Brooke Mueller is in the ICU in an L.A. hospital with a nasty infection. Charlie visited the hospital today, but because there is a protective order in place he is not allowed to communicate with his wife.
In the legal papers, Charlie's lawyer, Richard Cummins, wrote that Charlie "is concerned and feels the necessity to assist and care for his wife."
Cummins is asking for a modification of the protective order, to allow Charlie to communicate with Brooke while she's hospitalized.
TMZ has learned Brooke Mueller, Charlie Sheen's wife, is going to be ok and she still plans to make the trip to Aspen for the hearing on Friday.
Mueller's lawyer, Yale Galanter, tells TMZ the infection that put her in the hospital today is under control -- an infection she got as a result of oral surgery earlier in the week.
Galanter says Brooke -- who was admitted to the ICU with a fever of 105 -- was pumped full of antibiotics and she should be released today.
Galanter says the goal is for Brooke to make it to the hearing on Friday -- a hearing to modify the protective order that prohibits Charlie from having any contact with Brooke. Galanter says he's not sure if Brooke will be in any condition to travel and it's possible he'll ask the judge to allow her to testify by telephone.
We're also told a motion should be filed shortly in Aspen to allow Charlie to have contact with Brooke, while she's in the hospital.
Charlie went to the hospital a short time ago .. under the protective order he's allowed to be in the same room with wife Brooke Mueller, but technically he can't communicate with her.
