Biography of Meagan Monique Good

Meagan Monique Good is an American film and television actress. She was born on August 8, 1981, in Panorama City, California, USA. Good began her career at the age of 4, appearing in numerous commercials, TV shows, films, and music videos. She grew up in Canyon Country (now Santa Clarita), California, with her three siblings, under the guidance of her mother Tyra Doyle, who also served as her manager, and her father Leon Good, a Los Angeles police officer.

Early Career

Good started appearing in television shows such as "Doctor Doctor" and "Amen" at an early stage of her career. When she was 13 years old, she landed her first film role in the hit comedy-drama "Friday" in 1995. However, her breakthrough came with the role of a troubled teenager in Casey Lemmons' critically acclaimed drama "Eve's Bayou" in 1997. For her performance, Good received two film awards, including her first nomination for the NAACP Image Award.

Rise to Prominence

After several small roles in films and TV shows over the years, Good began to take on more mature roles in the early 2000s. From 1999 to 2003, she portrayed Nina in the popular Nickelodeon series "Cousin Skeeter." She then accepted minor roles in films such as "Deliver Us from Eva" and "House Party 4". The year 2003 was particularly productive for Good. She reached a turning point in her career, transitioning from a young actress to a mature, capable performer. This transformation was aided by her work in the action-drama "Biker Boyz" and the romantic comedy "Deliver Us from Eva".

Continued Success

Good portrayed Vanessa in five episodes of the third season of the sitcom "My Wife and Kids", but for unknown reasons, her character was recast with another actress. She then worked alongside Sarah Foster, Jordana Brewster, and Jill Ritchie in the action film "D.E.B.S." in 2004, which earned her the Best Actress award at the 2005 Black Movie Awards. She went on to appear in the horror film "Venom" and accepted a role in the indie-noir "Brick" alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Good considers her leading role as Coco in the urban action-drama "Waist Deep" in 2006 as her first significant breakthrough. She also provided voice-over work for her character in the video game "Scarface: The World Is Yours", had a role in the dance film "Stomp the Yard", and continued her horror streak in the film "One Missed Call". Her role in Mike Myers' comedy "The Love Guru" and the popular franchise "Saw" (part five) led to further work in the horror film "The Unborn" and the drama "Sundays in Fort Greene" in 2009.
