Before Dominic Rains began playing Dr. Crockett Marcel on Chicago Med in season 5, the star had a wide variety of movie and television roles to his name. Dominic Rains won over fans of Chicago Med quickly when he appeared as the hard-drinking, fast-living hotshot Dr. Crockett Marcel in season 5 of the medical drama. Like his Miami Vice namesake, Rains’ Crockett was a live wire with a dark past, and, like that same iconic antihero, the Chicago Med character was an instant hit with television viewers.
However, Dominic Rains’ Chicago Med arrival in 2019 was far from the beginning of the actor’s career. Rains appeared in TV shows as early as 2003 before earning his first movie part in 2006. Among other impressive achievements, Dominic Rains appeared in not one but two separate MCU roles before joining the cast of Chicago Med.
The most notable of Rains’ pre-Chicago Med TV roles was, appropriately enough, a part as Dr. Leo Julian on the legendary long-running soap opera General Hospital. The actor also gained acclaim for his part in the successful 2014 Iranian horror movie A Girl Walks Home At Night, while a recurring role in Marvel’s Agents of Shield also helped raise Dominic Rains’ profile and gain the star a part in Chicago Med season 5.
Dominic Rains’ Biggest TV Roles Before Chicago Med
Before Chicago Med, Dominic Rains was mainly known for his work on General Hospital. He also had recurring roles in the cult classic Flashforward and Agents o f Shield, as well as one-episode appearances in NCIS and Burn Notice. Showcasing the actor’s range, he also took on the part of 9/11 hijacker Ziad Jarrah in the 2006 TV movie Flight 93.
Dominic Rains’ Movie Roles Explained
Throughout his multi-decade career, Dominic Rains had many opportunities to bring his Chicago Med charisma to big-screen roles as well. His most critically-acclaimed movie was the twisty vampire horror A Girl Walks Home At Night, although Dominic Rains also had a role in a famous MCU blockbuster in the same year. Unfortunately for Dominic Rains, his later movie roles failed to find the same level of acclaim, as 2018’s ambitious action sci-fi AXL earned negative reviews and saw a poor box office performance, while 2016’s Burn Country and 2018’s sports comedy Chee and T failed to make much impact despite marginally better critical write-ups.
