Which character did Miles Caton portray in Sinners, whose cast won at the 2026 SAG Awards?

Miles Caton portrayed Samuel “Sammie” Moore in Sinners, whose cast won at the 2026 SAG Awards.

Sammie is a young musician in Ryan Coogler’s supernatural period film Sinners. Caton’s performance is closely tied to the story’s music, since Sammie’s gift as a blues player becomes central to the film’s dramatic and supernatural conflict.

The 2026 SAG cast award recognized the ensemble rather than a single performer. The listed recipients included Caton, Buddy Guy, Michael B. Jordan, Jayme Lawson, Delroy Lindo, Omar Miller, Wunmi Mosaku, Jack O’Connell and Hailee Steinfeld.

Viewers can confuse Sammie with Michael B. Jordan’s dual roles, Elijah “Smoke” Moore and Elias “Stack” Moore. Sammie is their nephew, not either of the film’s twin protagonists.
