A Native American, Goodluck was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His father is Navajo. His mother's ancestry includes Hidatsa, Mandan, Navajo, and Tsimshian.[1][2]
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.[3] 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.[3]
Goodluck auditioned for the part of Hawk in the 2015 film The Revenant when he was 15 years old.[3] The Revenant was his first feature film role.[4][5][6] Goodluck won Best Performance in a Feature Film – Supporting Young Actor (14–21) at the 37th Young Artist Awards for his role as Hawk.
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'".[7] In November 2016, it was announced Goodluck would star opposite Chloë Grace Moretz and Sasha Lane in The Miseducation of Cameron Post.[8]
