What Raegan Revord Looked Like Before And After Young Sheldon

Raegan Revord became a household name thanks to her time on "Young Sheldon" as the sarcastic and tough but loyal Missy Cooper. Even though she joined the cast at the very young age of 8, she'd already landed several roles before becoming Missy. Most prominently, she appeared as Lily Tucker-Pritchett's (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) best friend Megan on "Modern Family" for two episodes. She also popped up on single outings of TV shows "Teachers," "Alexa and Katie," and "Grace and Frankie."

Revord evolved from there, making a name for herself on the independent film circuit in short films like "Tortoise," "Jia," "Stray," and "I See You." On the big screen, she played a younger version of Joey King's Clare Shannon in the horror film "Wish Upon." It's a short resume, but since she started acting at the tender age of 6, it's an impressively fleshed-out body of work. And it looks like she's nowhere near to putting the brakes on her time in the Hollywood spotlight.

Even though "Young Sheldon" is in Raegan Revord's rearview mirror, the young actor will stay in Missy mode for a little longer. She's going to reprise her iconic character on the spin-off "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage" for at least one episode — one of three more "Young Sheldon" actors returning to their roles. And she's planning on diversifying her career by adding the title of 'author' to her resume; Revord had been working on a fantasy novel before writing the YA romance "Rules for Fake Girlfriends," which will be released in the fall of 2025. Since she runs an online book club for teenagers called Read with Raegan, she's got plenty of experience in the genre. 

Her acting career isn't slowing down either. As a matter of fact, she's begun dipping her toes into the world of project development as a producer in the industry. "I optioned a book last year and finally have the pilot done for that and we've been shopping it around. That's been a lot of fun, I would love to do more of that. Developing projects that I can produce and maybe star in if time allows," she told Unclear Magazine. She continues to express dreams and ambitions of appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or taking up a theatrical career on the Broadway stage. At the age of 16, she's got her whole life ahead of her and all the time in the world to make her dreams come true.
