## Fi1m on Jaime Camil

> Jaime Camil gives extravagant vanity precise comic timing and enough warmth to keep the character likeable. We rate that balance, though his familiar telenovela persona leaves us curious about what a different sort of leading role might reveal.

Jaime Camil allows Rogelio de la Vega to take his own importance seriously in *Jane the Virgin* (2014–2019), however extravagant the comedy gets. We laughed at his vanity and grew fond of him because Camil makes the warmth towards his daughter credible. The part brought him to US television after his breakthrough lead in *La fea más bella* (2006–2007), building on his telenovela experience rather than asking him to discard it. Working with showrunner and writer Jennie Snyder Urman, he gives the broad behaviour enough sincerity to keep it from becoming tiresome.

*Coco* (2017), in which he voices Papá, offers a smaller part of that appeal. Lee Unkrich's family musical takes the fear of being forgotten seriously, and its voices help it earn the feeling it asks for. We recommend it despite the busy, familiar plotting, which too often gets between us and the people we are meant to care about. Camil belongs to a voice cast whose contribution matters to that recommendation. It would be unfair to treat the film as a full demonstration of his comic abilities.

*Kimi* (2022) is a sharper change of setting, with Camil appearing as Antonio Rivas in Steven Soderbergh's thriller. Soderbergh and Koepp build the film around a smart speaker and a woman who cannot cross her doorstep; Zoë Kravitz carries it. We rate the lean construction and the first half's control, with reservations about the more familiar chase that follows. His supporting role extends his work in Hollywood, but the central performance here is someone else's. Choose it for the thriller, rather than as a Camil vehicle.

The reservation about Camil is that the vain, warm-hearted performer is also a familiar casting choice for him. He is good at it, but these films do not settle how much more he might do with a substantial part away from that persona. For the clearest reason to seek him out, start with Rogelio, whose self-regard is considerably easier to endure than it ought to be.
