[See NewsBusters for more.] Hunger Games star Wes Bentley lashed out at Arkansas, Monday, deriding the “bigotry” and "hate" coming out of his home state after the governor signed a religious freedom law earlier this year. Appearing on Larry King Now, the star of such “classics” as Ghost Rider spewed, “It's a shame that I have to feel embarrassed to say I'm from Arkansas now because something so full of hate is coming from the place of my home.”  Bentley admitted he hadn’t been back to Arkansas for 20 years, but said of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, “I can't imagine this is constitutional. I don't think institutionalized bigotry is constitutional.”
