For fans, there is nothing more fun than binge-watching old episodes of The Big Bang Theory and looking for plot holes, enjoying familiar jokes, and analyzing the cast's every move, line and behavior.

In short, The Big Bang Theory is ingrained in many viewers' psyches, and that means plenty of speculation about where the show went, where it could have gone, and what the heck happened to some of the actors afterward.

Everyone knows that Jim Parsons wound up narrating Young Sheldon, and though he admitted he is done with TV, he is probably keeping busy in other ways with the millions he has made. Kaley Cuoco has gone on to star in plenty of other projects, including her hit TV series The Flight Attendant. Melissa Rauch has gotten involved in several other industry endeavors, too. Among her latest is her leading role on Night Court.

But beyond the big names, what happened to the actors behind minor characters, like the actress who played Missy Cooper on The Big Bang Theory?

Who Is The Actress Who Played Missy Cooper?

Missy Cooper was played by Courtney Henggeler in Big Bang Theory

Much to fans' dismay, Missy Cooper, Sheldon's twin sister, was only shown in two episodes of Big Bang Theory. While Young Sheldon features Missy heavily (young Missy is played by Raegan Revord), fans sometimes feel like the show left a major plot hole open with Sheldon's sister's storyline. She dropped in, dropped out, and left fans wanting lots more Cooper sibling action.

As for Missy herself, IMDb credits Courtney Henggeler as Sheldon's sister for those two episodes; one in 2008 and another a full ten years later. She made appearances in the episodes "The Bow Tie Asymmetry" and "The Pork Chop Indeterminacy."

But what was Courtney doing for the decade in between, and what is she up to now?
