Shauna Rappold

Rappold's screen career dates back to at least 2008, when she began accumulating credits in film and television — a span of work that now runs past 2025 (IMDb). Her early years included appearances in productions like *Warbirds* and *God's Not Dead*, the kind of mid-budget genre and faith-based titles that form the backbone of a lot of working actors' early résumés. She also landed a recurring role on HBO's *Treme*, the David Simon drama set in post-Katrina New Orleans, which — given her roots in the city — must have felt like a full-circle moment. The television credits kept coming. She appeared as Megan Griggs in *NCIS: New Orleans*, played Lucy Creb in *American Horror Story*, and had roles in *Bad Moms* and *The Big Short* — two films from the mid-2010s that couldn't be more different in tone, which says something about her range. A brief turn in *Fantastic Four* (the 2015 version, presumably) rounds out a period where she was clearly working steadily across genres without a single breakout moment anchoring the whole run. That changed — or at least shifted — with *Godzilla: King of the Monsters* (2019), a Legendary/Warner Bros. production where she appeared as a G-Team Officer. Big-budget franchise work like that opens different doors. Then came *Deep Water* (2022) and, most notably, *The Boogeyman* (2023), where her role as the mother gave her the kind of emotionally grounded screen time that showcases actual craft. Hard to say if that film will mark a turning point in how she's cast going forward, but it's the performance that gives a viewer the clearest sense of what she can do.
