VISITING WITH RICHARD JENKINS By Billy Gil t’s always exciting to see a talented character actor finally get his due. It happened to Chris Cooper with Adaptation and to David Strathairn with Good Night, and Good Luck. Now it’s Richard Jenkins’ turn. The veteran actor of such fare as “Six Feet Under” (he played the dead dad, Nathaniel Fisher) and light comedies such as Cheaper by the Dozen and Me, Myself & Irene wowed audiences with his brooding portrayal of a defeated man in 2007’s The Visitor, which is coming to home video Oct. 7 from Anchor Bay Entertainment (DVD $29.97, Blu-ray Disc $39.98). Special features on the releases include the featurettes “The Visitor: An Inside Look” and “Playing the Djembe”; deleted scenes; and commentary by Jenkins and writerdirector Thomas McCarthy. “I read the script and said, ‘Nobody’s going to give you money to do this movie with me in the part,’” the humble Jenkins recalled telling McCarthy when he asked Jenkins to be in the film. “He said, ‘That’s not my question.’” McCarthy cast Jenkins as Professor Walter Vale, a widower with no interest in his work, or much of anything else. A chance work trip to New York from Connecticut brings him to stay in an old apartment he used to live in and still owns — which is now housing a young immigrant couple fooled into renting the place, much to his surprise. The ensuing drama yanks Jenkins’ professor out of his waking KLF-DV-3144 UPC: 7-41952-31449-3 ISBN: 1-4172-0160-6 • SRP: $29.98 French with English subtitles • 140 minutes Aspect Ratio: 16x9 • Production Year: 1991 Drama/Foreign • Dolby Digital • 2 DVD Set I OFFICIAL SELECTION Seattle International Film Festival OFFICIAL SELECTION Chicago International Film Festival Ulrich Thomsen stars as Dr. Jozef Brenner, a morphine-addicted medic plagued with writer’s block in this harrowing drama.After the conflicted doctor meets the deeply disturbed patient Gizella (Kirsti Stubø), the two begin a dangerously codependent affair, which drives them both over the edge. ‘The Visitor’ actor’s lauded film comes to DVD from Anchor Bay DVD EXTRAS Making of Featurette • Interviews with Cast and Crew B-Roll Footage NATIONAL MARKETING & PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN Extensive internet editorial, social media and publicity outreach to fans of independent and arthouse cinema KLF-DV-3167 • UPC: 7-41952-31679-4 • ISBN: 1-4172-0183-5 • SRP: $26.98 109 minutes • Hungarian with English subtitles/English dubbed version Aspect Ratio: 16X9/1.78:1 • Dolby Digital • Production Year: 2007 PRE-BOOK DATE: 10/14/08 • STREET DATE: 11/11/08 Watch clips at www.kochclips.com For more information visit www.kochb2b.com coma as he befriends his new roommates and becomes an advocate for the young man, who is arrested and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “I understood him,” Jenkins said of Vale. “I have a tendency to kind of be in the background myself.” Jenkins’ slow and subtle awakening is played with expert nuance, which dragged up the “O” word when awards season arrived. “To even have people say that to you is incredibly flattering,” Jenkins said. “I had never carried a film before.” Jenkins now seems ubiquitous at the multiplexes, playing a sweet, sad gym boss in love with Frances McDormand’s ditzy gym bunny in the Coen Brothers’ Burn After Reading, as well as appearing in the Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly comedy Step Brothers. “I’ve been fortunate that I haven’t been typecast,” Jenkins said, but added that he likes playing “the kind of guy you don’t pick out of a room.” “They’re just kind of there, and if it weren’t for the director, you might not notice them,” Jenkins said. Still, Jenkins’ body of acting work is diverse, and he recommends fans check out on DVD the comedy Flirting With Disaster (from Disney), North Country (which won Oscar nominations for McDormand and Charlize Theron, and is out from Warner) and “a little bitty film that nobody’s seen,” The Mudge Boy, an indie with Emile Hirsch (from Strand Releasing). “I read someone called me ‘gentle Richard Jenkins,’” the soft-spoken actor said. “Oh, I can be mean, too.” arner Home Video is releasing a slew of romantic classics and newer films on home video in time for Valentine’s Day.
