Who Else is in the Michael Cast So Far? Graham is an actress best known for her TV role in The Vampire Diaries, wherein she played Bonnie Bennett. She has also been in a number of films, including How It Ends, All Eyez on Me, and Cut Throat City. Tate, on the other hand, has acted in films such as Crash and Girls trip. Acting in a music film like Michael is not new for Tate, as his previous work includes playing Quincy Jones in the 2004 biopic Ray.
Michael will be led by Jaafar Jackson in the titular role. Jackson is the real-life nephew of Michael Jackson himself, and the son of music producer Jermaine Jackson. Michael will be Jaafar Jackson’s first acting role, as the production decided to go with a family member rather than a known actor for this particular part.
Though the lead role will include a newer actor, there are also a number of seasoned actors in the film. Stepping in to play Jackson parent Joe Jackson is Colman Domingo, an acclaimed actor who was recently nominated for an Oscar for his role in Rustin. Domingo is joined by pros such as Miles Teller and Nia Long for the film. With all these actors already cast in Michael, Tate and Graham are helping to round out a stacked cast for the film.
