## Family and early life
Law grew up in London as the oldest child of Jude Law and Sadie Frost, who met on the 1994 film *Shopping* and married in 1997. His sister Iris and brother Rudy were born in 2000 and 2002, and his parents divorced in 2003.[3](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/raff-law/) • [7](https://hollywoodlife.com/pics/rafferty-law-photos/) He has said his parents let him find his own path without pressure, and he has described his father as a best friend who helped him work on scripts.[8](https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/rafferty-law-my-parents-let-me-find-a-path-a4286926.html) • [2](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/raff-law-interview-2021)
He attended Bedales, a boarding school in [Hampshire](https://www.edgepedia.org/hampshire) known for its arts emphasis. His first play, at about age five or six, was a school production of *Pinocchio*; at 15 he played [Long John Silver](https://www.edgepedia.org/long-john-silver) in *Treasure Island*, shaving his head and learning to walk on a peg leg for the part. He has said that performance convinced him acting was what he wanted to take seriously.[9](https://hungermag.com/cover-stars/raff-law-in-the-past-i-felt-like-i-was-slightly-defined-by-my-family-now-i-want-to-break-away-from-that)
## Music and modeling
Before acting, Law was known as a musician and model. He co-founded the punk-indie band Outer Stella Overdrive in 2018, fronting it as lead vocalist and guitarist; the band later stopped performing together, and he has described music since then as a hobby and creative outlet rather than a career.[6](https://www.numeronetherlands.com/in-conversation-with/in-conversation-with-raff-law) • [9](https://hungermag.com/cover-stars/raff-law-in-the-past-i-felt-like-i-was-slightly-defined-by-my-family-now-i-want-to-break-away-from-that) In interviews he has said that stepping back from the band clarified that acting was his main ambition.[10](https://www.flaunt.com/post/raff-law-the-besties-issue)
His modeling career began with a catwalk debut for DKNY in 2014, followed by jobs for [Dolce & Gabbana](https://www.edgepedia.org/dolce-and-gabbana) and Topman.[2](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/raff-law-interview-2021) He has continued to appear in fashion editorial and campaigns alongside his acting work.[11](https://models.com/people/raff-law)
## Acting career
**Early screen work.** Law's first film appearance came as a child, playing Young Remy in *Repo Men* (2010), a younger version of the character played by his own father.[12](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/raff-law-interview) After short films including *Running Man* (2019), *Contact* (2020), and *The Hat* (2020), on which he also served as executive producer, he took his first lead role.[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3834174/)
**Twist (2021).** In Martin Owen's *Twist*, a modern reimagining of [Charles Dickens](https://www.edgepedia.org/charles-dickens)'s *Oliver Twist* set in contemporary London, Law played the title character, a graffiti artist with a talent for parkour who is drawn into a heist. The cast included [Michael Caine](https://www.edgepedia.org/michael-caine) as Fagin, Rita Ora as a gender-flipped [Artful Dodger](https://www.edgepedia.org/artful-dodger), and Lena Headey as Sikes. Law trained for the role with parkour practitioner Sébastien Foucan, worked out daily, and quit smoking during the shoot.[5](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/jan/29/hes-got-the-best-banter-rita-ora-and-raff-law-on-working-with-michael-caine-in-twist) He has said the production's discipline, including 5 a.m. call times, was an eye-opener and gave him a new sense of professionalism.[13](https://storage.uk.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_e8a470eb774e42d399f2582fca8786dc/cargus/21873-rafferty-law-talks-following-in-famous-dad-jude-law-s-footsteps-in-rare-interview-21873.html)
**Masters of the Air (2024).** Law played Sergeant Ken Lemmons, a regular role, in *Masters of the Air*, the Apple TV+ World War II miniseries from Amblin Television directed by Cary Fukunaga and executive produced by [Steven Spielberg](https://www.edgepedia.org/steven-spielberg) and [Tom Hanks](https://www.edgepedia.org/tom-hanks), alongside [Austin Butler](https://www.edgepedia.org/austin-butler), Callum Turner, and Barry Keoghan.[4](https://www.conwayvangeldergrant.com/actors/raff-law/) • [14](https://www.countryandtownhouse.com/culture/rafferty-law-interview/) He has called the part, based on a real airman whose family he contacted during preparation, his proudest achievement to date.[9](https://hungermag.com/cover-stars/raff-law-in-the-past-i-felt-like-i-was-slightly-defined-by-my-family-now-i-want-to-break-away-from-that)
**Recent and upcoming work.** Law plays Taylor Redfellow, an heir in a billionaire family targeted by his cousin Becket ([Glen Powell](https://www.edgepedia.org/glen-powell)), in *How to Make a Killing* (2026), a black comedy written and directed by John Patton Ford and loosely remade from the 1949 Ealing film *Kind Hearts and Coronets*; the cast also includes [Margaret Qualley](https://www.edgepedia.org/margaret-qualley), Topher Grace, and [Ed Harris](https://www.edgepedia.org/ed-harris).[15](https://apnews.com/article/3fd90ffde0989a73b09969ba38e140b8) He also appears as Olos in *Triton*, a fantasy horror thriller filmed in Athens that was in post-production as of 2025, and as Sean Harper in *Kill Jackie*, a thriller series for Amazon produced by Red Planet, scheduled for 2026.[6](https://www.numeronetherlands.com/in-conversation-with/in-conversation-with-raff-law) • [4](https://www.conwayvangeldergrant.com/actors/raff-law/)
## Public image
Law is frequently compared to his father in appearance, a comparison he treats lightly; he has said he has never been mistaken for Jude Law but sometimes notices they stand the same way.[13](https://storage.uk.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_e8a470eb774e42d399f2582fca8786dc/cargus/21873-rafferty-law-talks-following-in-famous-dad-jude-law-s-footsteps-in-rare-interview-21873.html) He has spoken about wanting to be seen as an actor in his own right rather than being defined by his family, and has said that being born into a famous family brought both advantages and hindrances, including scrutiny of his acting credentials.[9](https://hungermag.com/cover-stars/raff-law-in-the-past-i-felt-like-i-was-slightly-defined-by-my-family-now-i-want-to-break-away-from-that) • [13](https://storage.uk.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_e8a470eb774e42d399f2582fca8786dc/cargus/21873-rafferty-law-talks-following-in-famous-dad-jude-law-s-footsteps-in-rare-interview-21873.html)
