Rising out of relative obscurity in the late 1990s to capture audiences' attention with his riveting portrayal of an alienated youth in "American Beauty" (1999), actor Wes Bentley was an intense performer with an almost supernatural stillness to his screen persona. Bentley was the subject of considerable media coverage after "Beauty" scored multiple Oscar wins, and he went on to appear in such films as "Ghost Rider" (2007). In 2009, he was cast in the Broadway play "Venus in Fur" (2010), followed by a prominent role in the highly-anticipated blockbuster "The Hunger Games" (2012). He moved easily from well-regarded independents including "Lovelace" (2013) and "Welcome To Me" (2014) to supporting roles in blockbusters like Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" (2014) and "Mission Impossible Fallot" (2018).
