Early life

Career

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 . [9] Revord felt that the character's slight use on The Big Bang Theory (2007–2019) left plenty of room for an original interpretation. [10] 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. [11] Screen Rant said in 2024, For the longest time, Missy was Young Sheldon's best character, even though she was mostly sidelined. [12] 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. [13] They have appeared on the Young Sheldon spin-off series Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage , [14] and the final episode of the sitcom Night Court . [15]
