CassiusLife.com, a digital content property owned by iONE Digital, has released its latest cover featuring actor and icon, Michael Rainey Jr. Rainey is known as “Tariq” on social media, and in the acclaimed television series on STARZ, Power and Power Book II: Ghost.
Rainey shared that he is happy to play a lead character that has been around for years, and people want to see come back. He also talks about why he doesn’t feel overlooked as far as awards and what’s next for him after Power. He collaborated with CassiusLife.com to share his experiences learning from well-known actors and navigating life in Hollywood.
In a one-on-one interview with Cassius.com, Rainey states, “I feel like everyone does what they do for a different reason. I feel like I’m in this for just the enjoyment. I like doing what I do. I like playing the role of Tariq. I love coming to the set and being with the cast and the crew every day.
So that’s one part of it that I just look at and be like, ‘No, I get to do this every day.’ So I enjoy that. I don’t really look at it as far as being overlooked. Obviously, I’m not too oblivious to that, but I don’t really let that affect me too much, and I just let the work do what it does.”
