CSI never really gave her a chance to show off how sexy she can be but she had a nice tight fitting midriff showing top in Supernatural that drove me crazy!

Megalyn Echikunwoke (/ˈmɛɡəlɪn ɛˌtʃɪkʊnˈwoʊkeɪ/ MEG-ə-lin eh-CHIK-uun-WOH-kay;[1] born May 28, 1983[citation needed]) is an American actress. She has appeared on television as Tara Price in CSI: Miami, Isabelle Tyler in The 4400 and as Mari McCabe / Vixen in the Arrowverse.
Life and career
Echikunwoke was born in Spokane, Washington, to an Igbo Nigerian father, and a mother of English, Irish and German descent. After the death of her father, her mother raised her along with her three brothers on the Navajo Indian reservation in Chinle, Arizona.[2][3]
She was a series regular on the science fiction television series The 4400, as the adult version of the mysterious Isabelle Tyler. Echikunwoke left the show in 2007. Echikunwoke has also been seen in the MTV soap opera, Spyder Games, as Cherish Pardee, a coffee house singer, and in Like Family as Danika. She also has a recurring role in the first season of 24 as David Palmer's daughter, Nicole. In season 7 of CSI: Miami, Echikunwoke joined the cast as the new medical examiner, Dr. Tara Price. She appeared on the show for one season.
She appeared on Fox's That '70s Show as Hyde's half sister, Angie Barnett, and had a recurring role on TNT's Raising the Bar where she played the love interest of attorney Marcus McGrath, played by J. August Richards.[4] In 2011, Echikunwoke played Holly in the fourth season of 90210.[5]
She played April on Showtime's House of Lies and Riley Parker in the legal drama Made in Jersey on CBS.[6] In 2014, she co-starred in the drama series Mind Games on ABC.
She also appeared on the CW's Arrow as the DC Comics superhero Vixen for an episode, as well as providing her voice for the character in a short animated series. Due to prior commitments, she was unavailable to play the character in Legends of Tomorrow, resulting in the introduction of a new Vixen played by Maisie Richardson-Sellers, who is the time-displaced grandmother of Echikunwoke's character.
She played the role of Claire in the off-Broadway production of Apologia, alongside Hugh Dancy and Stockard Channing. The play ran from October 16, 2018, to December 16, 2018.[7]
Political activism
In 2007, Echikunwoke, Justin Long, Olivia Wilde, and Kal Penn campaigned for the 2008 Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama. This included a winter tour of college campuses and bars in Iowa, known as the All-Actor All-Iowa All-Star Voter Education Tour, to register new college-age voters prior to the 2008 election.[8][9]
