Zoe Perry shows her maternal side in Young Sheldon
THOUGH ZOE PERRY’S face resembles a cross between Kate Winslet’s and Natascha McElhone’s, comedically—from her cadence to her riotously exasperated manner—she’s a dead ringer for her mom, Emmy and Tony award winner Laurie Metcalf. Which is mighty handy in a case of hyper-meta-casting: In Young Sheldon, Perry plays Mary Cooper, the character Metcalf plays on The Big Bang Theory.
The new comedy, set in Texas in 1989, finds Mrs. Cooper, her husband, and two other kids doing their damnedest to deal with genius Sheldon (played by Jim Parsons in Big Bang) as he enters high school at age 9. “Playing Mary is a dream. She’s funny in her stubbornness and no-nonsense-ness, but also loving and protective,” says Perry, 34. “Anyone who feels like they know an outsider or is an outsider will relate to the show. That’s basically anyone in every family!”
Let’s cut to the chase: It’s impossible not to think of your mother while watching you, too, playing Mary Cooper.
I know. [Laughs.] Genetics have done a lot for me in carrying on Mary’s legacy, because my mom and I have such similar voices and mannerisms. But in Young Sheldon I get the opportunity to explore Mary in a different stage of life where we haven’t been introduced to her before.
