Rainbow explains how he came to get the role of Ford in Atlantis –- including a series of nine auditions in a week! Now that his character has been changed to recurring status, Rainbow is involved in an overwhelming array of pursuits, including working with his hip hop music group of 12 years (during which they have released six albums). He is also working on a solo record including one with his family (including father Don Franks, his mother Lili, and sister Cree).

He has also spent time designing furniture as well as a line of clothing for men and women (items from which he was wearing at the panel), painting for a gallery (showing at the end of the year in Vancouver and hopefully LA) and playing video games. Rainbow fans should be gratified he can squeeze in some convention appearances!
