Rains was born in Tehran, Iran, moved to London, England as a small child and then to the United States, where he was raised in Dallas, Texas. He is the brother of actor Ethan Rains. Rains began his acting career starring in the well known TV Movie, Saving Jessica Lynch in 2003. He later appeared in 2006 in the popular TV Movie, Flight 93. From 12 July 2007 to 4 October 2007, Rains appeared as Dr. Leo Julian on SOAPnet's General Hospital: Night Shift, a 13-episode prime time spin-off of the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital.

In 2010, he gained recognition for his role in the discussion sparking independent film, The Taqwacores, based on a 2004 novel by an American convert to Islam, Michael Mohammed Knight. The New York Times praised his performance as "particularly eye-catching" and NBC reviewed that his portrayal is, "reminiscent of Adrien Brody’s career-launching turn in “Summer of Sam.” Rains is just operating at an entirely higher level as the heart and soul of this film." This role also won him an award for best actor at the Festival de Cine Internacional de Ourense International Film Festival.
Later 2010, he began filming and starring as the lead role in Exxodus Pictures' supernatural thriller, Jinn. The film was released nationwide in April 2014. He plays Shawn Walker, a young automotive designer from Detroit who uncovers an ancient secret that threatens to wipe out his entire family.

Highly praised by many critics after its debut, it has been acquired by Kino Lorber for mainstream US Distribution likely set to be released in late 2014. "This stunning and stinging cinematic marvel left us speechless at its premiere," wrote founder Richard Lorber.
Rains recently collaborated on a short film written and directed with his brother Ethan, Still Here, inspired by real life events of their cousin that was fatefully misdiagnosed with cancer. The film is produced by the Rains Brothers in association with EXXODUS PICTURES. In the film Rains plays alongside Shohreh Aghdashloo and Alan Rosenberg.
