When chatting with Pop-Culturalist, Wyatt McClure explained that his passion for acting came from watching funny cartoons and the desire to make people laugh. He and his fellow talented cast mates have proven the ability to do just that. Despite popping up in a few films and guest starring in multiple TV series, "Young Sheldon" is McClure's break-out gig. While playing Billy Sparks, the young actor embraced the experience and the people behind the scenes. "Everyone is so friendly and nice," he explained. "I may not be in every episode, but they treat me like family."
When asked during his AfterBuzzTV chat if he had a favorite scene he was part of, ironically, it was the scene shown as a promo clip prior to the question. The scene came from an earlier episode when Sheldon's teacher explains the universal law of "love thy neighbor." Sheldon is curious about how it's possible to love his neighbor when both moms hate each other. It doesn't take long before Billy finds out that Sheldon is referring to their moms.
Trying to reduce the tension, Sheldon's teacher attempts to reiterate the moral lesson, only to discover that Sheldon's mom hates him too. McClure explained that the scene wasn't exactly easy to shoot. "Actually, it took quite a few takes," he recalled, referring to attempts thwarted by the young actor laughing and mispronouncing words. With Season 7 approaching, McClure should have more and more scenes to choose from as his favorite. And as his comedic skills continue to grow, there will most likely be more to come.
