YOU ONLY LIEV ONCE: HBO's "Hard Knocks" has won several Sports Emmy Awards during its run, and actor Liev Schreiber, who provides the voiceover for the show, on Friday said working on various sports shows and documentaries is his "favorite stuff" to do. Schreiber, who was promoting the new season of Showtime's "Ray Donovan," said, "It's really fun when you're teamed up with the right people, and HBO has some incredible sports programming." He added, "To be perfectly honest, I'm imitating John Facenda, to all of the purists out there who know who that is." Schreiber said Facenda, who was the legendary voice of NFL Films, "would do this epic narration and you had these very, very florally written things." Schreiber "It’s uniquely suited to sports" ("Today," NBC, 7/11).
