Social Network Presence
Sources did not provide detailed information about Miles Caton's social media handles or follower counts. Nonetheless, as a young actor and musician gaining popularity, it is likely he maintains an active social media presence to connect with fans and promote his work.
Toward the end of the tour, H.E.R. encouraged Caton to audition for a film role as "a young kid playing the guitar", an instrument which he did not know how to play at the time. The role was Sammie Moore, a central character in the then-upcoming period film Sinners. While Caton had previously filmed a short film and performed in a school play, he lacked experience acting in a major film. Caton drew upon his past as a "family clown" entertaining and amusing his family to prepare for film acting. Caton sent in his audition tape, about which Sinners director Ryan Coogler remarked, "You could just tell the kid was special — like, as a person ... I was like, 'Oh, man, we've gotta bring this kid in. Speaking about his singing to Digital Spy, Sinners co-star Wunmi Mosaku said, "I do think his voice is like no other, it literally moves you. I know music will send the vibrations through, but there's something about his vibrations that really get you right there in the gut." Caton was unaware of the centrality of vampires to the film's story when he signed on to appear in it, and only had two months to learn how to play blues guitar.
After Sinners debuted in theaters, Caton told Vanity Fair that he wished to continue acting and felt like he was in an "incredible moment". When asked by Variety about his future acting ambitions, he announced that he was interested in appearing in a Marvel film, and when asked about which superhero he would wish to play, he remarked, "I mean, my name is Miles..."
