Some character actors should never really be leading men (Jude Law), and some just haven't been given the chance. Richard Jenkins (I Heart Huckabees, 2004) is the kind who vastly improves every project he graces, but has never occupied center stage — perhaps because of his rather nondescript looks. In The Visitor, he finally stars — as an economics professor who upends his life to save a young Syrian musician from deportation — and he carries this understated film about US immigration with a rueful restraint. It helps that director Thomas McCarthy and his fellow actors, including the lovely Hiam Abbass (Munich, 2005), follow suit with unsentimental, piercing choices.
