Early life

A Native American, Goodluck was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His father is Navajo. His mother’s ancestry includes Hidatsa, Mandan, Navajo, and Tsimshian.

Career

Goodluck’s first acting experience was during a sixth grade production of A Charlie Brown Christmas at his elementary school: later he performed in stage and theater productions in middle and high school. At age 13, he auditioned for Native American director Chris Eyre’s film Man Called Buffalo, which never made it to production, but did allow him to network with future casting directors.

Goodluck auditioned for the part of Hawk in the 2015 film The Revenant when he was 15 years old. The Revenant was his first feature film role.

In February 2016, he was cast to appear in a pilot for the Hulu drama Citizen as Guero, a “wiry graduate of the streets who serves as the charismatic and bipolar leader of a group called ‘Baby Narcos‘“. In November 2016, it was announced Goodluck would star opposite Chloë Grace Moretz and Sasha Lane in The Miseducation of Cameron Post.
