Miles Caton is a rising actor and singer whose breakthrough came with his performance in Ryan Coogler’s 2025 film Sinners, marking his feature film debut. Prior to the role, Caton had experience in short films and performance, but Sinners introduced him to global audiences with his standout portrayal of Sammie Moore, a preacher’s son whose musical talent becomes a powerful force in the film’s story. His rich baritone vocals and authentic presence made an immediate impact, and he performed several songs on the Sinners soundtrack, blending his musical and acting gifts.

Caton’s work in Sinners earned him significant recognition for a first film: he won Best Youth Performance at the Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association Awards and was celebrated as a Best Breakthrough Performer at critics shows where the film was honored. This momentum, paired with his burgeoning music career — including the 2025 release of his single “Somethin” — positions Caton as one of the most exciting new talents emerging from the year’s biggest film.
