Raegan Revord was so young when she began playing Missy on “Young Sheldon” and has evolved before viewers’ eyes into a teenager in the series. “I’ve really grown up on this show with this group of people and they have truly helped shape who I am,” Revord told SBJCT Journal. It seems the cast of this prequel series is a second family to Revord, who is an only child but gets to experience having siblings in the series.
Raegan has been able to evolve as Missy has grown during the series, and the young actress said she has experienced many traditional milestones through playing Missy. “I think I would describe it as a natural evolution,” Revord told A Book Of. “In the first season, I was so tiny! I was only 9 years old. You really just saw me at home with my family and interacting with them. Over the seasons, you start to see what my hobbies are, my first crush and heartbreak.”
In later seasons, she said, she got to experience the life of a “typical preteen” through Missy. “We are seeing her in middle school and having those middle school experiences, which I love because I’m homeschooled, so I haven’t experienced a lot of that,” Revord told Cliché Magazine. Revord explained how the episode where Missy gets teased at school for having hairy legs really stood out as an experience she would never have in life, saying, “I have no idea what that’s like because it’s just me and my studio teacher, so I experience a lot through Missy.”
