What You Never Knew About The Cast Of Yellowstone

Publish date: 2024-05-05

Fans of "Yellowstone" know Wes Bentley from his role as Jamie Dutton, adopted son of John Dutton (something that wasn't revealed about the character until the third season). Film and television viewers will also recall Bentley from his roles in TV's "American Horror Story," and such movies as "American Beauty," "The Hunger Games," and "Interstellar." 

One big project not appearing on the actor's IMDb page, however, is "Spider-Man." A report from back in 2000 claimed that Bentley was on the Spidey short-list, along with Heath Ledger, Chris Klein, Ewan McGregor, and Tobey Maguire. While Maguire ultimately landed the role, it was only after Bentley had already turned it down. As Bentley told the Express Tribune, in his younger days it was something of a knee-jerk reaction to turn down offers for big-budget projects. "I didn't want to go there because I believed in what I did in 'American Beauty' was special and I had higher expectations for myself to do something like that again," he said. 

Looking back, Bentley admitted that he would now look at projects like "Spider-Man" with more of an open mind than he did when he was younger. "I regret not doing them and they're painful to watch sometimes," he confessed. "But they're a reminder of my struggle. If I were to get those opportunities again, I'd know exactly how to handle them. I think age and experience has made me more decisive and clear-headed."
