A few years ago, I interviewed Meagan Good for the hilarious comedy “Anchorman 2.” When we first connected, there were no layers of Hollywood publicists’ “handling,” and we quickly bonded over her love of God and why being a producer, as well as an actress, was so essential for a long and healthy career. At this point, she’s a veteran, entering the game, in 1997, in the drama “Eve’s Bayou.”

Good is on a roll. She is one of Hollywood’s most in-demand artists, and her producing skills are growing sharper—an exciting development. While covering LAFF 2015, the industry buzz around “A Girl Like Grace,” a coming-of-age film Good co-produced, was strong.

Here’s what Good, who plays the curious and fast-thinking Det. Lara Vega in “Minority Report,” had to share.

AmNews: In reviewing the pilot episode of “Minority Report,” I am curious why you liked this project.

Good: Oh, man! [laughing] Many reasons. It begins with the words on the page and the structure of the story, which is excellent. This really is my first real sci-fi, which is a genre that I like. After turning down many pilots, this seemed like the perfect fit. If you are familiar with the movie, those fans won’t be disappointed. If you come into this series with no knowledge of the film, the story still stands.

Elaborate, please.

The writers have a fresh approach. The story is being told from the perspective of the twin brothers [played by Stark Sands and Nick Zano]. The writing is intelligent and original. It will show the respect that the fan base deserves.

Plus, I fell in love with my character. Vega is unique and driven. She lives for her business. It’s like air. Driven is a good word to describe her and compassionate would be another.

What is the most challenging aspect of doing this series?

It is physically demanding, and it’s intense. It’s also part choreography, like with the hand movements, because there’s a lot of virtual reality shots where I see something in front of me or in my line of sight that’s not really there. So I have to imagine it and interact with it.

In watching the series, it’s like you have cop in your DNA.

Funny observation. My father was in the LAPD for 26 years, and his wife is also in law enforcement. In many ways, she is the framework of the character [Vega]. She is a caring soul who wanted to make our world a better place. So there are all these layers to what motivated her, and I based Vega on a lot of that.

The great storyteller Steven Spielberg directed the film version of “Minority Report.” I understand that he’s still involved. True?

True. He’s the producer. That’s crazy exciting because he is hands-on!

Hands-on? Please elaborate?

After he [Spielberg] saw the finished product, that’s when he came aboard as an executive producer. He’s been hands-on with the scripts. He literally handpicked every actor. He had to sign off on everybody they brought to the table. And he’s involved with the creation of the inventions. He’s very much a part of every aspect of the process.

What’s next?

I am weighing my options. Our team is shopping a distribution deal for the indie film (“A Girl Like Grace”), and our team is always looking for new projects.

OK. Thank you—“in Jesus time!”

Wow. I sign all of my emails that way!

I know, and now so do I.

“In Jesus time!”
