Wes Bentley is best known for his roles as a brooding extrovert, as in "American Beauty" or "The Hunger Games." His piercing eyes and stern look have made him the perfect choice for roles in which dark and mysterious are requirements.

His latest movie, "Knight of Cups," by legendary director Terrence Malick, is filled with mystery, exploring the befuddling past of a Hollywood screenwriter, played by Christian Bale. Bentley is the writer's troubled but loyal brother.

We talked to Bentley about some of the highlights from his career, starting with "Knight of Cups," out this weekend.
