Meagan Good (born August 8, 1981) is an American film and television actress and occasional film producer. Beginning her career at the age of four, Meagan Good has appeared in numerous commercials, television shows, feature films, and music videos. In 2013, she began starring in the lead role of the NBC drama series Deception.
Good was born in Panorama City, Los Angeles, California. Her mother, Tyra Doyle, worked as Good’s manager into her teens, and her father, Leon Good, is a LAPD police officer. According to Meagan 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 black, and his father was from Barbados.”
Meagan 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. 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. When she was thirteen, Good was cast in her first film, the 1995 hit Friday. Meagan Good first began to gain recognition for her performance as troubled teen Cisely Batiste in Kasi Lemmons’ critically acclaimed 1997 film Eve’s Bayou, which earned Good two award nominations, including her first NAACP Image Award nomination.
I like watching Meagan Good in the new primetime show Deception. I think she’s doing great being in a leading role and the show’s been interesting. I’m looking forward to the next episode and I get it recorded using the PrimeTime Anytime feature, which records the 4 major networks nightly. I work at night and I depend on my DVR to get all my shows. I use this all the time and it’s one of my favorite features from my employer DISH. This puts an end to all the DVRs constantly being tied up in the evenings and lets us watch other shows at the same time.
