“	You little bugger. You're lucky you didn't have me to deal with.	„
	~ Rafe Bentley, to Ozzy Paxton

Rafe Bentley

Rafe Bentley is the main antagonist of the 1997 comedy/action film Masterminds.

He is played by Patrick Stewart, who also played Locutus in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Dr. Jonas in Conspiracy Theory, Pharaoh Seti I in The Prince of Egypt, Zobek in the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games, John Bosley in Charlie's Angels, Darcy Banker in Green Room and Avery Bullock in American Dad!.

Bentley is the head of security at Shady Glen, a private school. He first appears shortly after Claire Maloney, the school's headmistress, sends Ozzy Paxton out, at which point Maloney tells him that Ozzy, a former student, is the reason for the school's new security measures. Bentley dismisses Ozzy as a "little bugger" and remarks Ozzy is lucky he didn't have him to deal with. Ozzy walks off.

Bentley and Maloney head down to the security room and switch on the system, only to be confronted with footage of a racy television commercial (Ozzy's handiwork). A flustered Bentley manages to turn off the footage. Soon afterward, armed men arrive at the school, and Bentley holds Maloney at gunpoint, revealing his scheme to hold Shady Glen's students hostage in order to force their wealthy parents to pay him money.

Trivia

• Early in the film, Bentley tells Maloney, "Please, Claire, call me 'Rafe,'" to which Maloney quickly replies "Fine." This is a subtle reference to actor Ralph Fiennes, with whom Patrick Stewart (Bentley) would co-star in The Prince of Egypt.
