You’ve seen him as the mischievous, quirky neighbor on Young Sheldon — always ready with a strange comment, a friendly punch, or a moment of unexpected hilarity. But who really is the actor behind Billy Sparks?
Meet Wyatt McClure, the young actor from Cleveland, Ohio, who’s quietly stealing scenes and hearts on one of CBS’s most beloved sitcoms.
Born with a natural flair for comedy and timing beyond his years, Wyatt began acting at a remarkably young age. While many know him today for his recurring role on Young Sheldon, his career has already spanned multiple mediums — film, television, web series, and even live comedy.
Before he ever landed the part of Billy Sparks, Wyatt had already appeared in feature films like Psychos, Glass Jaw, and the horror thriller The Terror of Hallow’s Eve. He even had a role in the extended version of the tearjerker hit The Fault in Our Stars. Not bad for someone who wasn’t even a teenager at the time.
But it’s his work on Young Sheldon that has really put him in the public eye. As Billy Sparks, Wyatt brings a unique charm to the series — playing a boy who’s both Sheldon’s childhood nemesis and, weirdly enough, one of his only friends. His comedic chemistry with Iain Armitage (Sheldon) adds a dynamic layer to the show that fans absolutely adore.
Yet Wyatt isn’t just content with acting in front of the camera. He’s also co-hosted a YouTube series called Between 2 Phat Kids, showcasing his sharp wit and love for interviews. And if you happen to be in L.A., you might even catch him performing live at the iconic Hollywood Improv, proving he’s got stand-up chops to match his screen presence.
And here’s a fun fact that only makes him more relatable: Wyatt is a massive sports fan — especially when it comes to Cleveland teams. Whether it’s the Browns, the Cavs, or the Guardians, he’s repping his hometown loud and proud.
While Wyatt McClure’s journey is still just beginning, he’s already showing the range, humor, and work ethic of someone destined for a long career in entertainment. From sitcom stardom to the big screen — and maybe even comedy headlining — Wyatt is definitely one to watch.
