Michael Rainey Jr. wasn't always sure that he was meant to be an actor. In fact, he was literally scouted while outside one day to do some print work. Then he did a music video, which basically led to him falling into acting by chance. As he told the Jamaica Observer's Splash, the music video was seen by Italian director Silvio Muccino, who knew Rainey Jr. was perfect for a role in his next film. He explained, "They flew us to Italy for 10 days to meet and the next thing I know we were back in New York packing our bags and heading back to Italy to do my first movie in Italian."
Rainey Jr. made his debut in the 2010 film "Un Altro Mondo" when he was only 10 years old. This was followed up by his 2011 film "LUV," in which he starred alongside Common (per IMDb). As he later told Regard Magazine, making "LUV" was the experience got him hooked on acting. He said, "I got in the business by accident. But, after doing the film 'LUV,' I knew that I definitely wanted to be an actor."
