Missy is characterized as a quick-witted child with keen social skills. She’s essentially Sheldon’s opposite, which proves to be either a help or a hindrance depending on the situation. Unlike her twin brother, Missy isn’t academically inclined, a facet of her character that carries over into adulthood. Luckily, Raegan Revord didn’t let anything limit her portrayal of Missy. Instead, the minds behind the series gave her room to make her own mark on the character.
In an interview with Popternative, Revord explained that finding the balance between the younger version of Missy and the woman audiences meet on “The Big Bang Theory” was simple because she was allowed to approach the role on her own terms. “I feel like whenever Missy was [on] ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ she wasn’t such a prominent character that you got to learn every angle of her. So it was nice to be able to make it my own,” Revord explained. “I was able to create Missy. I watched clips of older Missy to see how she was, but then I was also able to add my own take on the character as well.”
This tactic was a smart move since it allows Revord to make Missy more relatable. The young actor’s portrayal not only adds context to the character’s actions later in life but also gives greater meaning to Missy and Sheldon’s bond.
