Acting

Revord began modeling work for print advertisements and appeared in commercials at age four. They were cast as Megan in Modern Family at six. They had minor roles in Grace and Frankie , With Bob & David , and Teachers . [3] [4] [5] They did voice work for the radio play Nilsa and the Troll. [6]

In March 2017, Revord was cast as Missy Cooper, Sheldon Cooper's twin sister, in Young Sheldon, a prequel to the series The Big Bang Theory . [7] Revord felt that the character's slight use on The Big Bang Theory (2007–2019) left plenty of room for an original interpretation. [8] Missy Cooper has been described as adding a much-needed spunk to the plot but also serv[ing] as the perfect foil to her academically-gifted twin brother, Sheldon. [9] Screen Rant said in 2024, For the longest time, Missy was Young Sheldon's best character, even though she was mostly sidelined. [10] Revord picked up Missy's Texan accent by watching Laurie Metcalf play an older version of the character's mother on The Big Bang Theory. [11]

They have appeared on the Young Sheldon spin-off series Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage , [12] and the final episode of the sitcom Night Court . [13]

Book club and writing

In 2019, Revord created Read with Raegan, an online book club for young readers which as of 2025 had 175,000 followers on Instagram. [14] [15] They wrote Rules for Fake Girlfriends, a young adult sapphic romance novel [16] published by Wednesday Books in September 2025. [15] [14] Revord worked on the book, set on a college campus in England, between takes during the last season of Young Sheldon, and credited Heartstopper and its TV-adaptation as inspiration. They have also narrated an audio-book version. [2] [17] Kirkus Reviews gave the book a negative review, [18] while Publishers Weekly was more mixed. [19]

As of 2025, Revord is working on their second book, a fantasy they started writing before Rules for Fake Girlfriends. [2]

Personal life

Raegan Revord was born on January 3, 2008, in San Diego, California, and was raised in Los Angeles when their family moved there when they were three and a half years old. [20] [3] As of 2025, they are a junior ambassador for Children's Hospital Los Angeles. [3] [21] They are an only child. [22]
