I once met him when he was filming the first season of Yellowstone. I was working at a cafe in park city and he would come in every morning and I couldn’t figure out why I knew him and then one day I said to him don’t take this the wrong way but you look like an older version of the guy in American beauty and he laughed and said that because it is me. We laughed and he brought his whole family in all the time. The nicest, most humble guy ever. And his wife and kids are awesome too!

[@lisamccoy6514]

I'm glad to hear that people I admire on screen are really nice in real life

[@tommymurphy9588]

What a nice story!

[@samsong24]

Ah, I love that!

[@SuperFilmregisseur]

He's like the underdog Keanu Reeves in his own league. He was legendary as Seneca Crane

[@brakesforsnakes757]

He would have made a killer Spider-Man.

[@Rvcruz09]

He is so gorgeous!!!!

[@rosemartinez2174]

He is!! I think he’s insanely gorgeous & he’s beautiful inside too❤️

[@belliott88]

Wes Bentley delivered the greatest, most beautifully melancholy and bittersweet, monologue in film history in “American Beauty”.

[@blessingsoutlaw]

I know. The entire film left such an imprint.

[@kimberlywilmoth9184]

He was a flat out genius in that film...It was an absolute work of art. Ricky Fitz will always be one of my very favorite film characters.

[@skierpage]

I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in. That one? What a scene, what a movie ♥️. In full... It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. Right? And this bag was just dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. That's the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in.

[@HS22181]

[@Brian-ex5xb]

Til you find out he's really big into pedophilia

[@ChowDownDetroit]

This is the first time I've seen Jamie Dutton smile.

[@edmontonboy99]

He smiles a bit in the pilot episode.

[@Brian-ex5xb]

You should see him smile in his pedophilia films

[@Nigoraxon91]

I don’t know but seems like they made Jamie that way. He wasn’t bad from the beginning. John and Beth just never loved him and never showed the appreciation. They do everything to let him know that he is not a part of the family. Talking about abortion: I mean if Beth was 14 he was about 17 or 18 he also was young and scared. I feel sad and sorry for Jamie

[@cassandradennis5685]

He is so HANDSOME 😍

[@NormaLilia24]

I don't want Jamie to end up at the train station 😭

[@FEARisCOLD]

I remember him being up for Spiderman, I thought he was a great choice. He looked like a real life Peter Parker.

[@tiago2189]

Yeah, it wouldn't be a bad idea

[@benknight1755]

He was great as Blackheart🖤 in Ghost Rider

[@lisamccoy6514]

So lively and animated in real life such a contrast to his characters. Such a testimony to his acting. Just a down to Earth dad. Love it 💖💖

[@emb5091]

Wow, I didn't realize he was the other astronaut in "Interstellar", was in "American Beauty", as well as "Mission: Impossible - Fallout", and other movies I love! This whole time while watching "Yellowstone", I thought it was his first major role! LOL

[@anniebarrett3684]

He also had pretty major roles in the AHS series. He's a great actor

[@MyzelleJenkins]

American Beauty is such an awesome movie…if you haven’t seen it, stop everything and watch it tonight. ..

[@danameyer2156]

Literally just watching this video so I can see Jamie Dutton smile for once

[@davsny5]

He is so, so good and such a humble, yet amazing man. He has been so forthright about battling his demons and just a great man, actor, husband, father and human being. So many amazing performances.

[@tatzybatzy1286]

Jamie is a phenomenally hard character to play, sooooooo many layers. He does an amazing job!!!

[@massagetech2982]

He's such a good actor, because it's hard to see him as a real person. These 2 together could be danger 🤪

[@brinsonopinion]

I'm so happy he got himself back together - he's an amazing actor and still gorgeous af

[@tylerm0089]

i forgot if his character explained what he thought of the floating bag. I remember it possibly mimicking human lives, by going in circles, and random directions,

[@andrewwickersham1523]

I wonder if Jimmy asked his daughter if she will become a boy or a girl?

[@hankthepatriot3733]

Just watched Interstellar the other day and didn't realize Wes was in the cast!!!

[@Belverously]

Sh!t. That's why, when I looked at him.. I saw the face of TOBEY MAGUIRE!! Sam Raimi choose these 2 guys to play as spiderman on 2002... Damn, both of them fit perfectly to play as Spidey!

[@mdelvalle2456]

He plays a great bad guy. I'm watching P2 right now.

[@davsny5]

He was awesome in P2

[@TheMarandaWrites]

I’ll say this and I’ll never change my mind. He should have played Christian grey.

[@Kfm7]

Black heart lives !! 😂

[@Strider2931]
