Montana Jordan (born March 8, 2003)[1] is an American actor. He is best known for his role as Georgie Cooper in The Big Bang Theory franchise, appearing as a series regular in Young Sheldon (2017–2024). He reprises the role as a lead actor in the spin-off Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage (2024–present).

Early life and career

[edit]

Jordan was born in Longview, Texas,[2] and raised in Ore City, Texas.[3]

In 2015, Jordan auditioned for The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter, a film directed by Jody Hill and starring Josh Brolin and Danny McBride.[4][5] The film, which follows a father-son hunting trip, marked Jordan’s acting debut when it was released in March 2018.[6][4][5]

Jordan gained recognition in 2017 when he was cast as George "Georgie" Cooper Jr., the older brother of Sheldon Cooper, in Young Sheldon, a prequel series to The Big Bang Theory. Initially introduced as a supporting character, Georgie became a more central figure during the show's run. His character’s relationship with Mandy McAllister (played by Emily Osment) became an important storyline,[7] culminating in the characters' marriage during the show's seventh and final season.

In 2024, CBS announced a spin-off series titled Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, with Jordan and Osment reprising their roles.[8] The series, which explores their journey as newlyweds and young parents, premiered later that year and received mostly positive reception.[9][10] It was renewed for a second season in February 2025.[11]

Personal life

[edit]

Jordan married his Texan girlfriend of four years, Jenna Weeks, in June 2025 in Longview.[12][13] Their daughter was born in 2024.[14]
