Who did I play in the Hunger Games?

Oh, shit.

Ugh.

Yeah, I knew that would stump you guys.

I don't watch your movies either.

[group laughs]

[upbeat music]

Hi, I'm Wes Bentley.

I'm Luke Grimes.

I'm Kelsey Asbille.

Cole Hauser.

Gil Birmingham.

And today we're gonna test each other

at how much we know each other.

Good luck.

What is my secret talent? [laughs]

Right out the gates with a little zinger.

I'd say dancing.

I don't think people know he's a great dancer.

He is actually a great dancer.

He's a great toothpick chewer, too.

A what?

Toothpick chewer.

[Kelsey laughs]

I'm gonna say burpees.

Burpees? Same.

Burpees?

Maybe in my 20s.

But Luke got it right on the nose.

It's dancing.

I know this guy.

Not a lot of people know that I dance better than most.

What was the name of my childhood pony?

I didn't even know you had a childhood pony.

What's a hint?

Was it bunny?

Roscoe?

Cinnamon.

Cinnamon.

Cinnamon. I never would've guessed.

You should pay attention when I talk,

you know, late night.

What sport did I play professionally

before I became an actor?

Wes, you should get this.

Soccer?

Yes sir.

Give him the one point.

[group laughs]

That's it.

I didn't know that.

What word would I use to describe myself? [laughs]

Handsome. Good luck.

Yeah, I'd say handsome.

I'm gonna write that down, that's one point for Luke.

And now let's move on.

What have I stolen from the Yellowstone set?

Ooh.

Oh. What have you stolen?

God, I hope one of your suits.

That would, that's a great answer.

I think I'm gonna go with that as well.

Suits. Yeah.

The thousand dollars suits.

[group laughs]

I don't think they'll let you walk off with those.

I'm gonna say-

[group laughs]

Need a new contract for that.

Maybe shoes.

Lots of microphones.

Just end up, yeah, I keep for,

I just leave and I forget I have 'em on.

That's smart, those are expensive.

What other celebrity do I get confused for?

Most of the time. Jake Gyllenhaal.

Let me write it down.

[group laughs]

Doesn't count unless I right it down.

Luke is really trying to win this game.

I wanna win. I know, God.

I'm competitive, I'm in it to win it.

He got way too much sleep last night.

Look out.

So any other answers?

No.

Toby McGuire.

[group groans]

That's not cool.

That's true.

You're more handsome than him.

Thanks, who did I play, you gotta name him,

in the Hunger Games?

Oh shit.

Yeah, I knew that would stump you guys.

I don't watch your movies either.

[group laughs]

Seneca Crane.

Okay.

Who was gonna guess that?

Yeah. Kids, little kids.

[group laughs]

Tweens, for sure.

[Wes] Well, I guess they're adults now.

What do I like to do on the weekend?

Sleep.

I mean, soccer would be one I would say.

You like to go around, I mean, listen,

you've already re-injured yourself again.

Soccer.

Hey.

All right.

[Wes] That's it, that's me.

I think most of you will know this.

Okay.

So I guess it's the first one to spit it out.

Give me a point.

Get your marker ready.

How many pets do I have?

Two kitties.

There we go.

Two, two, I get one too.

Oh, sorry, honey, what?

Did you get?

Did you slide in?

I called it out.

Okay, give me a half a point and her half a point.

Bless you.

Okay.

Who is my favorite actor?

Meryl Streep.

Close. Clint Eastwood.

That's top three for sure.

I should know this, damn it.

Russell Crowe.

No, it's, love you Russell, it's no.

Nothing against Russell Crowe.

Bill Murray.

Paul Newman. Wow.

[buzzer rings]

We talked about this. I know.

I think I have heard you say that.

Let's throw this one out there.

Just, you know, fishing for a compliment.

What's my best personality trait?

[Kelsey laughs]

Come on guys.

God, this one can get us in trouble.

Bring it on, give it to me.

[Cole laughs]

Sense of humor.

Aww.

I would say, yeah, yeah, you're really fun.

There's no right answer here.

[group laughs]

I'll go with hair then.

Ooh.

Is that personality?

No.

I guess with him it is.

Come on, Cole.

Listen, I mean, I love every bit of all your personality.

Aw, that's sweet.

Everybody gets a point.

[group laughs]

How long have I been married?

Oh, three years?

No. Two years.

Hold on.

Two. Two years.

It's close to two years.

Maybe it's a year. Two years.

Two years. Two years.

A year and three quarters.

It'll be three years this month.

That's what I was gonna say, three years.

Time has flown by.

Three years.

I was gonna say that.

Uh-huh, it'll be three years this month.

All right, cool.

Let's try to keep it classy, guys.

I'm realizing how I was essentially socially blocked

from this group.

I don't know anything about anybody.

That's not true.

You've been in the trailer every morning.

I, let's see, how many siblings do I have?

Oh, you have two?

Yeah two. Two.

Two?

[laughs] Hey, hey.

I just gotta go last.

What's the weirdest thing I do on set?

Hmm.

I never have scenes with you. [laughs]

I would say-

I'm all alone.

Something weird on set.

This, this should be a Luke-

Luke should answer this question or get it right.

Kelsey is perfect on set.

That's correct. [laughs]

That's the answer.

No, I do my, when I get like cold or nervous

I do like my praying mantis.

Oh, okay.

There we go.

It's not weird though.

Not creepy at all.

Bless, what state was I born in?

North Carolina.

South Carolina. South Carolina.

No, you don't get it.

South Carolina.

Gil.

South Carolina.

South Carolina.

I knew that one.

Yes.

Okay, let, let's go with what time do I usually wake up?

Okay.

It's very intimate.

Very intimate question.

I'm gonna guess that you wake up when you want to.

You have dogs so I'm gonna say 7:00.

7:00 AM, I'm going with 7:00, too.

I just have this feeling that you, you stretch out,

you know, and then you go into your day when you like.

Yeah, here we go guys.

8:30?

That's like the average?

Well, I feel like we should give Wes

because it is because of my pups.

I get a half point.

Yeah, yeah, half point.

I don't know how many points I have have, but yeah.

Well.

What profession did I do before acting?

Body building?

You were in Diana Ross's music video.

[Gill] Do you think that's a profession, do you?

[group laughs]

Have you seen the video?

As a bodybuilder?

No.

No, you guys are wrong.

I was an engineer.

What? What?

Oh wow.

Where have you been Gil?

Actors aren't supposed to be smart.

Yeah.

Whose music video was I cast in for my first role?

Oh man.

Diana Ross. It's Diana Ross.

What was the song?

Are you riding on his answer?

No, I said it first.

But we gotta know the song, right?

Hey. Yeah.

What was the song?

Muscles?

No.

Was it Muscles? Wasn't it called Muscles?

I don't know.

Yes, it was.

Would be perfect, huh?

Are you serious?

Check it out everyone right now.

Muscles. Yeah.

Gil's in a g-string, it's awesome.

What's my favorite way to relax on set?

A martini and a cigarette.

I was gonna say a cigarette.

That's six and a half.

[Kelsey laughs]

I've never had a martini on set.

Not on set, but in the trailer.

So it's...

No, not even on the trailer.

I mean, I see it.

Lunch.

[group cross-talks]

Lunch. Lunch and a cigarette?

Hanging with my compadres, that's my favorite thing to do.

There we go. Yeah.

I feel like I knew everybody better before this game.

I feel like I haven't learned anything.

We need to hang out more.

I think I learned a lot.

I feel like I've been locked in my house alone for too long.

[group laughs]

See but when it comes to like Gil and like, you know,

Luke and Kelsey, I mean, we actually see each other.

Yeah, you hang out.

With that being said-

You're also on set with each other.

I'm never on set with any of you.

I'm in my own little bubble.

True.

Except for our secret love affair.

Except for our secret.

Secret though.

What the?

Wait a, wait a minute.

Can we get into the questions of that?

That I'm interested in.

That would be a new knowledge to me.
