Wes Bentley Biography

Wes Bentley is an American performer who first gained notoriety in 1999 for his role as the deeply imaginative next-door neighbor Ricky Fitts in the Oscar-winning film American Beauty. He also played game designer Seneca Crane in The Hunger Games and co-stars in Lovelace as Larry Marchiano, Linda Lovelace's controlling husband. Born on September 4th, 1978 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Bentley participated in show club at Sylvan Hills High School in Sherwood, Arkansas, where he also discovered a passion for improvisational satire. He also formed a comedy group with his brother Patrick Bentley, as well as Damien Bunting and Josh Cowdery. Bentley attended the Juilliard School in New York for a brief period of time after graduating from high school, at his mother's encouragement. Soon after, Bentley appeared for the first time in Jonathan Demme's Beloved (1998). After becoming successful in America, Beauty Bentley struggled with substance abuse, which cost him his first marriage to the fictional Jennifer Quanz. Bentley has openly acknowledged that, throughout the majority of the 2000s, he only took acting gigs to get money to buy drugs, despite the fact that he continued to secure roles in movies like the pivotal competitor for Ghost Rider and another important role in The Game of Their Lives. In 2009, Bentley finally enrolled in a 12-advance program. He thinks that maintaining his equilibrium is a continual process.
