Arlington Actor Iain Armitage Bids Farewell to ‘Young Sheldon’

It may be tough to separate actor Iain Armitage from Sheldon Cooper, the character he’s played on Young Sheldon since 2017, but there are ways to tell them apart. For one, the 15-year-old Armitage adores animals; Sheldon fears them. Sheldon grew up in the fictional east Texas town of Medford; Armitage calls Arlington home.

Still, Armitage says he will miss the character when the series ends in May.

“It’s very hard because it’s been basically half my life,” he says. “I’m of course very sad but also happy, and I feel so grateful that I’ve gotten so much wonderful time with our incredible cast and crew and writers.”
