Bio

Wilson Bethel is an American actor best known for his role as Cpl. Evan 'Q-Tip' Stafford in the Iraq war television mini-series Generation Kill, in 2008.

He also stars as Wade Kinsella in the comedy-drama series Hart of Dixie, a fish-out-of-water story about a New York City doctor adjusting to life in a small Southern town after she inherits a local medical practice.

Bethel appears in the films The First Ride of Wyatt Earp, opposite Val Kilmer; and Stealing Summers, opposite James Jagger, son of Mick. He has also appeared in 80 episodes of The Young and the Restless, playing the terminally embattled heartthrob, Ryder Callahan.

Bethel landed his big break in the Emmy-nominated HBO miniseries Generation Kill in 2008, playing a young recon Marine alongside Alexander Skarsgard and Stark Sands. He made news in early 2010 as a final contender for the title role in Marvel's Captain America.

Previous television credits include Cold Case, NCIS and The O.C. In fact, Bethel guest-starred as Summer's (Rachel Bilson) boyfriend on The O.C., going on to star with her in Hart of Dixie.

A longtime DJ and record collector, Bethel is a self-proclaimed vinyl nerd. In addition to his years of DJing in Los Angeles and New York, Bethel has kept a long-running music blog with his older brother, Charlie.

In his spare time, he also enjoys playing guitar, reading, riding his bicycle and getting busy on the dance floor.

Bethel currently resides in Los Angeles.
