Not every single actor knows that they're going to become one at a young age. Meghan Ory knew what she wanted to do at a young age and never looked back, slowly gaining notoriety in TV shows and mini-series, ranging from "Higher Ground" (Fox Family 2000) to "Vampire High" (WB 2002). After more than a decade bouncing from short-lived shows to guest spots, she emerged as a premier television actress in "Once Upon a Time" (ABC 2011- ) and "Intelligence" (CBS 2014). Ory set herself on the path to becoming an actress at the age of 14, though she didn't make her professional debut at the age of 17 in "The Darklings" (1999). She remained in the realm of TV, co-starring in "Higher Ground" and "Vampire High," a pair of shows that only lasted a season. Aside from that, she guested on TV shows such as "Smallville" (CW 2001-2011) and "Dark Angel" (Fox 2000-2002). Her feature film debut was "Decoys" (2004), a schlocky horror movie. She continued to make appearances in TV shows and movies through the rest of the 2000s, including appearances in teen comedy "John Tucker Must Die" (2006), TV show "Psych" (USA 2006-2014), and TV mini-series "Merlin's Apprentice" (2006), where she met her husband, actor John Reardon. In 2011, Ory began starring as Red Riding Hood in "Once Upon a Time." However, her character stopped being a regular at the end of the show's second season. She began her role in "Intelligence" after that, where she co-starred with Josh Holloway.
