Life and career
Meagan was born in Panorama City, California to Tyra Doyle (who worked as Good's manager into her teens), and Leon Good, an LAPD police officer.2 According to Good, her maternal grandmother is "Jewish and African, so I guess that would be considered Creole. My mother’s father was Cherokee and something else. My dad’s mother’s Puerto Rican and African American, and his father was from Barbados."23 Good was raised in Canyon Country (now known as Santa Clarita), California with her three siblings. She began her acting career around the age of four or five.4 In the early stages of her career, Good started out doing work as an extra on television shows such as Doogie Howser, M.D. and Amen.4 When she was thirteen, Good was cast in her first film in the 1995 hit Friday.2 Good first began to gain recognition for her performance as troubled teen Cisely Baptiste in Kasi Lemmons' critically-acclaimed 1997 film Eve's Bayou, which earned Good two award nominations, including her first NAACP Image Award nomination.
After taking on small film and television roles for the next few years, Good would begin to transition into more mature roles in the early 2000s. From 1999 to 2003, she appeared as Nina on Nickelodeon's hit show Cousin Skeeter. Good later took on small roles in the films 3 Strikes and House Party 4: Down to the Last Minute. 2003 proved to be a major year for Good, as she landed roles in the action-drama Biker Boyz and the romantic-comedy Deliver Us from Eva, which helped her transition from child to adult actress. Good also appeared as the character Vanessa for five episodes during the third season of My Wife and Kids, before being replaced by Brooklyn Sudano for undisclosed reasons.5 In 2004 Good starred alongside Jordana Brewster, Sara Foster, and Jill Ritchie in the action film D.E.B.S., and for her performance received a Best Actress nomination at the 2005 Black Movie Awards.6 She also had small roles in The Cookout, Lance "Un" Rivera's directorial debut, and the teen dance film You Got Served.
In 2005, Good co-starred in the horror film Venom as well as the well-received indie noir Brick. She then played opposite rapper/actor Bow Wow in Malcolm D. Lee's Roll Bounce. In 2006, Good took on the role of Coco, which she felt was her first true leading lady role, in the urban action-drama Waist Deep.4 Good also voiced a character for the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours that same year.7 The following year, Good landed a role in the dance movie Stomp the Yard, starring alongside Ne-Yo and childhood friend Columbus Short.2 In 2008, Good appeared in the horror film One Missed Call and the Mike Myers comedy The Love Guru, and in the latter half of the year could be seen in Saw V. Good's most recent role was in 2009's The Unborn with Gary Oldman and Odette Yustman.
Good has also made appearances in many music videos, by artists such as 50 Cent, Imajin, Isyss (of which Good's sister La'Myia Good is a member), Lil' Johnny, Memphis Bleek, Tyrese, and Will Smith.1
Good has stated in numerous interviews that she would like to portray the late singer Aaliyah in a biographical film.48
She has also started her own production company, Freedom Bridge Entertainment, with Marlon Olivera, and fellow actors Tamara Bass and Ty Hodges.9 The company's first production was the 2006 film Miles from Home.10 The second is Sundays in Fort Greene, which is currently in production, and was written by Bass, Hodges, and actor Omar Epps.11
Personal life
Good currently lives in Studio City, California.23 Although she wasn't raised in the church, Good considers herself to be a very spiritual person, and has stated in numerous interviews that she will not do roles that she feels might "disappoint God."12
