Meredith Thomas spent her early childhood in Utqiagvik, Alaska, the northernmost settlement in North America where her parents taught Inuit grade school students through the Bureau of Natives Affairs. Later in her childhood, she moved to the Great Island of New Castle off the coast of New Hampshire. Meredith's first professional acting role as Tessie in "Annie" came while still in elementary school. She continued to act in summer stock productions in the northeast throughout her youth, but soon headed west securing a role in her first big-budget feature film, "Pleasantville" as a teenager. She hasn't stopped working in film and television since.

A quirky blonde beauty with girl-next-door charm and wit, it's no wonder Meredith has become a television movie favorite. She is second only to Vivica A. Fox in the number of Lifetime Television Movies. With chops for both comedy and drama, you'll find her easily transitioning between thrillers like Lifetime's "The Wrong Blind " and "The Wrong Boy Next Door" and the new Christmas classics "A Christmas in Vermont" with Chevy Chase and "A Christmas in Royal Fashion ". The latter was ION Television's highest-rated movie in prime-time and ranked #2 that season among all the networks airing holiday movies with an average of 1.2 million views.

Meredith is an award-winning actress and producer as well. Awards include a Best Actress win for her 6th Christmas movie, "The Best Gift". As a producer, Meredith has made inclusion her passion. In 2018 she created a charity event called FYC Independents. It gave a platform to underrepresented talent including people of color, performers with disabilities, LGBTQ talent, and women. The FYC Independents' movement helped lead to countless Emmy® nominations and wins, including the first black married couple ever nominated in the same year for Primetime Emmy®'s, the out first trans actor nominated for a performance Emmy® Award, and a leading actor nomination for "$TACK$" which she produced.

After discovering her essence as a young actress with the late, great teacher Sam Christensen she decided that her mission in life was to foster hope. She continues that mission through her charitable work for veterans, disabled children, voting accessibility, and blood donation as President of a Los Angeles area Elks Lodge. She is a longtime head mentor for public school 5th graders and an animal foster through several rescues. Meredith was also a founding director of the Cre Theater Company and Changing Perceptions. There she wrote, directed, and produced theater for visually disabled actors.
