Jimmy Kimmel: Where are you from?

Pablo Schreiber: I’m from British Columbia, Canada.

Kimmel: Where specifically?

Schreiber: From a little town called Winlaw, which only some of us can pronounce. I was born on a hippie commune, but my mom got sick of that and moved off when I was six months old. She wanted electricity …

Kimmel: You were born there and then moved to Winlaw?

Schreiber: Pretty much. The hippie commune was in Ymir. This is all really abstract and nobody will ever know it, unless they’re from these towns.

Schreiber went on to describe growing up without TV.
