Personal life

Bentley is the grandson of actor Robert Mitchum,[3] the son of Cindy Davis and actor Christopher Mitchum and the nephew of actor James Mitchum. His acting debut was with them in a TV movie, Promises to Keep, in which the three actors played characters with corresponding relationships. Bentley attended USC and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in drama. He also started a band called The Velvet Box.

Bentley has two daughters, Allexanne Mitchum, from his marriage to Samra Wolfin, and Carrington Mitchum, from his marriage to Jaime Anstead.

His daughter Allexanne dated Steve Bing. She died on July 3, 2019, after taking what she believed was a Xanax pill, but the pill was laced with fentanyl which caused her to overdose.[4][5][6]
