Yellowstone Jamie Dutton (played by Wes Bentley) is one of those characters the audience cannot decide if he is evil or not. Some feel sympathy for him because of his devastating childhood meanwhile some hate him for what he did to Bethany, his sister. Although it is tempting to talk about Yellowstone and our favorite characters from there, it’s time to learn all the juicy details of Wes Bentley’s life, the incredible actor playing Jamie Dutton.
The 43-year-old American actor is best known for his role in the 1999 movie American Beauty. He also famously played Seneca Crane in The Hunger Games franchise. He also played different roles in American Horror Story’s multiple seasons. Since 2018, he has been playing Jamie Dutton in Yellowstone.
Bentley has been publicly open about his drug addiction history saying that he started doing drugs after he had become famous with American Beauty. When his addiction started to create problems on his movie sets, he was arrested and ordered to take part in a 12-step-program. The program did not work for him, however, as he continued doing heroin until 2009 when he confessed to a friend about his addiction and asked for help. He entered a 12-step program again and has been clean since then.

Swedberg is not Bentley’s first wife, as the actor was married to actress Jennifer Quanz from 2001 to 2009. It turned out that the reason for the couple’s breakup was Bentley’s substance abuse. Quanz is known for her minor roles in the tv series Get Real and the movie 21. She is best known for playing herself in the documentary My Big Break, in which Wes Bentley plays himself as well.
His relationship with Quanz seems to be all in the past now because Bentley has moved on already and has a stable relationship.
