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.
