Wesley Cook "Wes" Bentley (born September 4, 1978) is an American film actor.

Life and career
Bentley was born in Jonesboro, Arkansas, the son of Cherie and David Bentley, who are United Methodist ministers.12 He has three brothers, Philip and Jamey, who are older, and Patrick, who is younger. Bentley grew up in Mountain Home and later in Sherwood. He attended Sylvan Hills High School, Sherwood, Arkansas, and the Juilliard School's Drama Division, New York City.
Bentley has starred in several films, including the Oscar-winning film American Beauty,3 The Four Feathers alongside Heath Ledger, P2, and Ghost Rider. He starred in the upcoming thriller Dolan's Cadillac,4 based on the short story by Stephen King.5, and the anticipated movie There Be Dragons by director Roland Joffee.
In 2001, he married actress Jennifer Quanz. In 2009, he filed for divorce. In a New York Times article on Feb. 8, 2010, he describes his descent into drug addiction that began almost immediately after his success in American Beauty. He said he hid his addiction from his wife; they separated in 2006, and he moved to an apartment where he began doing drugs full-time. During this time he worked sporadically, just enough to pay bills and buy drugs, and in 2008 was arrested and ordered into counseling and 12-step programs. He relapsed, however, and "continued using heroin until he was broke." In July 2009, he said, he confessed to a friend, "I’m a drug addict, and an alcoholic, and I need help. I need help or I’m going to die.” He again entered a 12-step program and, while clean since then, considers himself on the path to recovery, and has begun to rebuild his career by starring in the Off-Broadway play Venus in Furs.6
