Everybody Loves Raymond is an absolutely classic! The sitcom ran from 1996-2005 and featured a family with Ray Romano as the patriarch. With Romano’s antics, his lovable family, and some ridiculous scenarios, this show became a family favorite in many households. See where the cast of this beloved show is today.
Ray Romano as Ray Barone
After playing the protagonist of an iconic show, Ray Romano now enjoys playing supporting roles in various productions. The actor has graced both TV and movie screens, bringing a touch of nostalgia to each project he’s in. As for an Everybody Loves Raymond reboot, Romano made it clear that we shouldn’t hold our breath. The actor explained that the show wouldn’t be the same without all the original actors and, sadly, some have since passed. He insisted, “We want to leave with our legacy as what it is.”
Patricia Heaton as Debra Barone
After playing the family matriarch in Everybody Loves Raymond, Patricia Heaton went on to play another family matriarch in The Middle. The actress doesn’t seem to mind being typecast, as she’s played similar roles in various other productions as well. Heaton has also authored a book titled Your Second Act: Inspiring Stories of Reinvention.
Brad Garrett as Robert Barone
The world almost missed out on seeing Brad Garrett play Ray’s brother. The actor explained, “They wanted a Danny DeVito type, a little pit bull guy.” Well, they certainly got the exact opposite! We bet producers are glad they went with Garrett in the end, as the actor won three Emmys for his role. Garrett is still acting in movies and TV shows alike.
Doris Roberts as Marie Barone
Doris Roberts reminded everyone of their own mom as she portrayed Ray’s overbearing mother. In fact, when asked why the show was so successful, Roberts aptly said, “I think it’s still popular because it’s based on reality.” After the show ended, the actress continued to work in movies and TV shows, even reuniting with Heaton in The Middle. Sadly, Roberts passed away in 2016.
Peter Boyle as Frank Barone
Peter Boyle played Ray’s grumpy father perfectly! The actor went on to work in other productions after Everybody Loves Raymond wrapped. Clearly, Boyle enjoyed the show just as much as everyone else did!
The actor once said, “It’s a really good show, and I really feel good about it. It makes me happy.” Sadly, Boyle passed away in 2006.
