Biography of Raegan Revord

Raegan Revord is a young American actress who started acting at age 6. She's best known for playing Missy Cooper, Sheldon Cooper's twin sister, in the series "Young Sheldon," which is a prequel to the sitcom "The Big Bang Theory." She's also appeared as Megan in "Modern Family" and Anna in the short film "Jia."

Childhood

Raegan Revord was born in the winter of 2008 in San Diego, California. She's the daughter of Holly and Jacob Revord, with her father working as a security leader at Sony Pictures Entertainment.

From early on, Raegan loved performing for her family and lighting up their faces with smiles. Her mother was always supportive of her daughter's dreams. Recognizing Raegan's passion for acting, Holly relocated with her daughter closer to Hollywood's "dream factory" in Los Angeles.

Starting around age 4 or 5, Raegan began booking commercials, but she quickly knew she wanted more. Her mother got Raegan a manager who began taking her to auditions, and eventually she landed a role on "Modern Family."

Acting Career

Raegan Revord landed the role of Megan in two "Modern Family" episodes. She first appeared in "Won't You Be Our Neighbor?" in 2014, then returned two years later for "Storm."

During this period, she also starred in two short films: "Tortoise" (as a Ballerina) and "Jia" (as Anna). In "Tortoise," she acted alongside David Arquette in the lead role, while "Jia" gave her the chance to play the main character—a young female warrior.

She also picked up guest spots on "W Bob and David," "Grace and Frankie," and "Teachers."

Her most significant role came in "Young Sheldon," the "Big Bang Theory" spin-off following child prodigy Sheldon Cooper as he struggles to fit in with his family and at school.

Revord was cast as Missy Cooper, Sheldon's twin sister. While she may not match her genius brother's academic achievements, Missy excels where Sheldon struggles—in empathy and connecting with others.

Discussing their on-screen chemistry, Revord has praised how naturally she and her co-star work together:

It honestly feels like I have a real twin brother. I'm an only child, just like Iain, and we're so similar it's crazy—I'm amazed we don't have the same blood type! We love the same things, play the same games...

To nail her character, Revord studied "The Big Bang Theory" episodes and perfected her Texas accent by watching Laurie Metcalf, who played Sheldon and Missy's mother in the original series.

In 2017, Revord played the younger version of the main character in horror film "Wish Upon," with Joey King taking on the older version. She also starred in the short film "I See You."

Soon after, the young actress was cast as Ainsley in the television series "Alexa & Katie," followed by her role as Benny in the project "Day by Day"—a series of podcasts inspired by our new reality.

Raegan supports charitable organizations involved in animal protection. She has three dogs of her own. She is also a volunteer at a children's hospital.

Just like Missy Cooper, Raegan's naturally outgoing. She once spotted actor Joel McHale at a restaurant - they'd worked together on a commercial years earlier - so she walked over and reminded him about it. Turns out McHale remembered his four-year-old co-star, despite how much she'd grown, and invited her to join his table. Raegan said about him:

…shooting a commercial was cool! The filming took place... I forgot the name of the place... near Mount Whitney AHA... and we spent a whole three days in the desert! I had one day off, then we climbed the mountain, walked in the forest... it was really great. We also crossed a stream, that was fun too - but the water was so cold, and I took off my shoes and went barefoot.
