Meagan Good

Name: Meagan Good
Date of Birth: August 08, 1981
Place of Birth: Panorama City, California

Mini-bio: With encouragement from her mother, Good entered the entertainment industry with appearances in commercials at the age of four. To date, she has been in over 60 national commercials. Her television po...( read more)rtfolio is quite vast with having been on every side of the spectrum ranging from The Parent 'Hood and Touched by an Angel to starring roles on Raising Dad with Bob Saget and the Nickelodeon series, Cousin Skeeter.

Despite her television appearances, she is best known for her work in movies. According to Sister2Sister magazine, Good decided she would become an actress at the age of twelve, and received her first speaking role at the age of 12. As a youngster, acting was simply "just something to do for fun" (Sister2Sister magazine, 2005). Her big break-through came when she garnered critical acclaim and earned an Image Award nomination for her starring role in Kasi Lemmons' film Eve's Bayou, opposite Samuel L. Jackson. Some consider Eve's Bayou to be Good's "coming-out party as the 16-year-old dominated the screen". Her persistence paid off although she originally wanted to play the role of Eve. By the time of the movie's production, she was too old for Eve's role and instead entertained the idea of playing Cisely.

Meagan Good's tenure in the entertainment industry has spanned nearly twenty years with almost twenty movies and about the same number in television shows. Good, in an interview with Savoy magazine, explained that she has been around longer than some actors she considers legends. In the same February 2003 interview, she does say that there is a down side to being a celebrity, because of rumors directed at her. For a long while, she has also had to deal with being known as the pretty girl on the screen. In an interview with Essence magazine, she has voiced her disappointment with constantly being put into a corner. "My goal is to do something that's not about race or a certain look" she states. In order to avoid this, she is willing to play "a crackhead, a crazy person, superhero" (Savoy, 2003).

Though she does not appreciate being judged based on her looks as far as her career goes, she does recognize that she is widely popular amongst her fans in part because of her looks. AskMen.com finds that "Good possesses of one of the finest packages in showbiz". For this reason, she has been numerous magazines with special dedications to her most notably Black Men and King. In an 2003 King interview, she reflected on past comments about her appearance by saying, "Boys I been around my whole life were like, 'You Got Booty.' I was like 'For real?'". She would like to continue producing movies. Miles From Home was her first.
