NAACP Image Awards: 5 Meagan Good Roles That Showed Her Beauty and Range
Meagan Good has always been easy to look at — but her career proves she’s also worth paying attention to. She’s moved between comedy, drama, romance, thrillers, and television without getting boxed into one image.
As her series "Harlem" earns a nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series at this year’s NAACP Image Awards, it’s the perfect moment to revisit the roles that show how she pairs beauty with real range.
Here are five that prove she’s more than just a pretty face.
Camille Parks — Harlem
Camille is ambition with heart. Good plays her with humor, insecurity, confidence, and longing all at once.
She lets the character be messy without losing her likability. That balance is hard and the actress makes it feel easy.
Jordan — Eve’s Bayou
This role showed Good's depth early. As a child navigating mystery and emotional tension, Good brought stillness and emotion that felt far beyond her years.
She didn’t overact. She observed and that made the performance haunting.
Beautifull — You Got Served
In a dance-heavy film, Good stood out for presence, not just movement.
She gave Beautifull (with two L's) confidence and softness, grounding a flashy world with real emotion.

Maya — Think Like a Man
Good showed her comedic timing here from being sharp, playful, and self-assured.
She didn’t disappear in an ensemble. She held her space.
Darla Dudley — Shazam!
In "Shazam!," Good shows a lighter, playful side by stepping into a superhero world without losing her charm.
As Darla Dudley, she brings warmth, humor, and heart to a story built on wonder and imagination.
She makes heroism feel human and not stiff or overly serious, proving she can move easily from drama to fantasy while still feeling grounded.
