Wes Bentley (Jamie Dutton)
Jamie Dutton is the character everyone loves to hate — he’s always trying to impress John, and always falling short.
Actor Wes Bentley loves the unpredictability of Yellowstone’s wild plotlines. “I wait for that next script and within the same kind of anticipation or fans do for the next episode to be aired because, you know, Taylor surprises us so much,” he told EW in 2023. “And I’m so interested in everyone. I’m so invested in more than just Jamie. I’m invested in the whole thing now. We all talk about it on set, you know, all the possibilities. We do our own fanfiction.”
Before joining the show, Bentley was well known for playing Ricky Fitts in American Beauty (1999) and Seneca Crane in The Hunger Games (2012), as well as his memorable turns in three seasons of American Horror Story (2014–2016) and in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar (2014).
Outside of Yellowstone, he recently performed voice work for Adult Swim’s animated series Blade Runner: Black Lotus.
Bentley was married to Jennifer Quanz from 2001 to 2009. In 2010, he married Jacqui Swedberg. They have two children, a son Charles, and a daughter, Brooklyn.
