In the much lauded film American Beauty, handsome young actor Wes Bentley played the cute boy next door; a sensitive, misunderstood videographer peeping at the girl across the driveway. In the actioner Ghost Rider, Wes donned a cool black coat and shocked as a demonic dude after Nic Cage's flaming skull character. Now, you can catch the dark-haired hottie as the guy you would most hate to be stuck with in a deserted parking garage in the thriller P2.
We sat down with Wes in Beverly Hills to find out what it was like to film underground for several months of night shoots and how he developed his stalker character and bonded with the victim actress in the film, pretty Rachel Nichols. After a long day of stalking her, he took her out for a beer! Picture Wes with full beard and all casual in jeans, black tee and backwards black baseball cap.
TeenHollywood: Okay, your guy in this movie is pretty cute...for a while. When you first walked over to Rachel in the garage, hey I would have gone out with you [he grins]. Did you develop your own backstory for your character? He seems normal but he's so not!
