Meghan Ory

What strikes me about Meghan Ory is how she turned a fairy-tale gimmick into a genuinely layered character. Ruby in Once Upon a Time could have been a one-note costume role, yet she gave the wolf-girl real warmth and bite. I also respect her pivot to Chesapeake Shores; Hallmark dramas rarely earn critical buzz, but anchoring a long-running family series takes a steadiness that flashier careers lack. She belongs to that quietly reliable tier of Canadian actors who keep American television running, and I think casting directors still underuse her range between genre fantasy and grounded domestic drama.

Meghan Ory (born August 20, 1982) is a Canadian-American television and film actress. She is known for her role as Red Riding Hood/Ruby on the ABC fantasy series Once Upon a Time and also starred in the short-lived CBS drama Intelligence as Riley Neal. Ory starred in the Hallmark family drama Chesapeake Shores as Abby O'Brien.
