A Star Is Born

Born on January 3, 2008, Raegan Revord discovered her passion for performing almost as soon as she could walk and talk. An only child with a flair for the dramatic, she would transform everyday items into props for her countless home productions. “My parents probably have hundreds of hours of footage of me putting on plays and concerts for them,” Raegan reminisced in an interview. With unwavering support from her parents and a family friend who connected her with an agency, Raegan’s living room acts soon turned into local commercial gigs.

From Commercials to Sitcom Stardom

Raegan’s commercial career was the launchpad she needed. At just six years old, she landed her first significant TV role on the hit sitcom “Modern Family,” playing the delightful character Megan. This guest-starring role was more than just a job; it was a taste of the actor’s life that left her hungry for more. She bonded with co-star Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, and the two even filmed food reviews on YouTube together. But Raegan wasn’t just content with a one-off appearance. Her time on “Modern Family” fueled her ambition for a steady role, leading her to audition for “Young Sheldon.”
