Biography |
Born in Panorama City, California on August 8, 1981, Meagan
Monique Good was groomed to be an actress almost before she
could walk. By the age of 4, she was appearing in
commercials; as she reached her preteens while growing up in
Valencia, California, Meagan was already credited in
episodes of On Our Own and Gabriel's Fire.
In 1994, Good made her film debut as an extra in House Party
3. The following year, the young actress who had dreams of
fame and fortune played "Kid #2" in the comedy Friday and
had a supporting role in Make A Wish, Molly.
As Good was so young when she began to pursue acting, her
parents had some doubt as to whether or not this career
represented her future. Though the doubt remained after
Good's starring role in Just One of the Girls disappeared
when the sitcom was cancelled, they quickly changed their
minds.
In 1997, Good got the part of Cisely Batiste, the rebellious
daughter of Samuel L. Jackson's character in Eve's Bayou.
The critically-acclaimed film became Good's coming-out party
as the 16-year-old dominated the screen.
As critics sung her praises, Good was finally convinced that
acting was in her blood. She completed her high school
studies -- she had been home schooled due to her frequent
acting commitments -- and moved on to the TV series Cousin
Skeeter and The Jersey.
As Good matured into a beautiful young adult, her roles
began to change significantly, as she was able to take on
more mature (and sexier) characters. These types of roles
began with the film The Secret Life of Girls in 1999. One
year later, Good injected some sensuality into the
little-known comedy 3 Strikes, and then signed a two-year
deal to star opposite Bob Saget in the sitcom Raising Dad.
In 2003, Good's career really took off thanks to significant
appearances in the films Biker Boyz, Deliver Us from Eva
(co-starring Gabrielle Union and LL Cool J) and Ride or Die,
in which she shared the screen with Vivica A. Fox. That same
year, Good provided the eye candy in 50 Cent's video for "21
Questions." She was subsequently featured on the cover of
King magazine and appeared in five episodes of My Wife and
Kids.
2004 saw Meagan fulfill our fantasies in the film D.E.B.S.,
in which she dressed in a sexy schoolgirl outfit and played
the leader of a group of all-female crime fighters. Good's
next two projects that year, The Cookout and You Got Served,
helped establish her as a bankable supporting actress.
Her continued productivity -- catch her in Brick, the horror
flick Venom, Roll Bounce, and Crenshaw Blvd. in 2005 -- and
overwhelming hotness leave little doubt that her presence in
Hollywood will not be short-lived. Furthermore, the movies
she has on tap, including 2006's Waist Deep, will explore
the depth of her acting ability. |
