Zoe-perry

Perry was born to actor Laurie Metcalf, and Jeff Perry. She made her first appearances in the television screen as Jackie Harris, a character played by her mother in the ABC show Roseanne. She was not allowed to start acting by her parents until the age of adulthood because they were afraid of the strain it might cause. Perry confessed that she wasn't confident in her acting during high school. However, she began performing as a means to make friends in Northwestern University after switching from Boston University. Perry had the opportunity to secure minor TV roles in Law & Order: Criminal Intent following her graduation. Homesickness, however, brought her to California to return, where she started performing in the stage. In 2013, she appeared in The Other Place on Broadway with her mother. In 2015, she performed with her father and Kevin McKidd in Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize-winning film Anna Christie on the Odyssey Theatre Ensemble in West Los Angeles. Perry played a lead role in nine episodes of ABC's show The Family. Her father played her character in the ABC drama Scandal. In the same year, she was cast as a young character of Mary Cooper (Sheldon Cooper's mother) on Young Sheldon, a spin-off of the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory again portraying a younger version of her mother's character. The role was selected via auditions though she had a close association with it.
