When Raegan Revord landed the role of Missy Cooper, she wasn’t exactly a stranger to the screen. Still, she didn’t have much formal training and assumed the key to acting was the ability to memorize lines (via Popternative). Of course, this is certainly part of the job. But her acclaimed “Young Sheldon” co-stars, especially Annie Potts, opened her eyes to the intricacies and layers of the craft.
“I’ve learned so much from her and just my cast members that surround me on [a] day-to-day basis,” Revord said. “And now, compared to [when] I was 9, I go and I read the script and I think about how to approach it and the different ways that I could say a line. And not even just the lines itself, but the reactions and like, if I do it this way, how will it translate to the audience?”
For Potts, it’s been bittersweet to watch Revord and Iain Armitage become professional actors before her eyes. She told Smashing Interviews Magazine, “Oh, it seems to have happened so fast, too! They were just so tiny when they were nine.”

Based on feedback from “Young Sheldon” viewers, the lessons Revord learned from Potts are paying off. On Reddit, u/Hobbes131 praised Revord for stealing every scene that she’s in, adding, “That young lady is going to have one heck of an acting career if she wants to.”
While Revord’s main focus at the moment is “Young Sheldon,” she’s made it clear that she wants to eventually expand her horizons, including into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. How proud will Potts be if that happens?
