Cast Insights: Sheldon’s World in the Making
The interview took place at the Warner Bros. lot, where Young Sheldon is filmed, and featured Iain Armitage (Sheldon), Zoe Perry (Mary), Lance Barber (George Sr.), Montana Jordan (Georgie), and Raegan Revord (Missy). Each cast member was eager to share stories about the moments that make Young Sheldon more than just a job—it’s a family.
Iain Armitage, who plays the young prodigy Sheldon Cooper, spoke about how he balances portraying Sheldon’s intellectual precocity with the innocence of childhood. “Sheldon is so smart, but he’s also a kid. He gets things wrong sometimes,” Iain explained. “That’s what makes him so interesting—he’s learning about the world in his own unique way.” Armitage also expressed how much he enjoys learning new things for the role, from scientific concepts to old TV show references that Sheldon loves.
Zoe Perry, who plays Sheldon’s devoted yet often exasperated mother Mary, shared her thoughts on bringing depth to the character. “Mary loves her family deeply, and she’s constantly torn between her religious beliefs, her love for Sheldon, and just being a mom,” Perry said. She reflected on the special relationship between Sheldon and Mary and how it has grown over the show’s five seasons.

Lance Barber, who plays George Sr., noted how he feels like a father figure to the younger actors. “I feel responsible for them, and I care about them,” Barber said. “I think that shows up in our scenes together.” It’s clear that the chemistry between cast members translates directly to the screen, giving fans the authentic family dynamics that they love about Young Sheldon.
