Raymond Albert"Ray"Romano(born December 21, 1957) is an American actor, stand-up comedian, screenwriter and voice actor, best known for his roles on the sitcomEverybody Loves Raymondand in theIce Agefilm series. He recently starred in the TNT comedy-dramaMen of a Certain Age.

Ray Romano

Early life Ray Romano was born in Queens, New York, the son of Lucie, a piano teacher, and Albert Romano (1925–March [3] 2010), a real estate agent and engineer. He is from an Italian background, and grew up in the Forest Hills [4] neighborhood of Queens. He has a brother named Richard A. Romano and another brother, Robert. Ray attended elementary and middle school at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs in Forest Hills. After transferring from Archbishop [5] Molloy High School, Romano graduated from Hillcrest High School in 1975. He was in the same high school class as Fran Drescher and later appeared on Drescher's sitcom,The Nanny, as an old classmate. Before getting into show business, Romano briefly attended Queens College, in Flushing, New York, where he studied accounting. Romano quit after gaining only 15 credits in three years, but he would later return.

Career Ray's early comedy career started when he competed in the Johnnie Walker Comedy Search in 1989. His career included many outlets, such as Comedy Central, where he had been a recurring guest voice on the showDr. Katz, Professional Therapist. He also was a contestant onStar Searchin the stand-up comedy category. He originally was cast to play Joe (originally named Rick) on the American television sitcomNewsRadio, but was fired and replaced by Joe Rogan. He then appeared onLate Show with David Lettermandoing his stand up routine which formed his ties with CBS. Shortly thereafter, he became the star of his own show,Everybody Loves Raymondon CBS, that featured a cast and format more suitable to Romano's brand of humor. Ray and his comedian friend, Kevin James, starred in the salesman comedy,Grilled, as two guys of the same profession who are both very desperate to land a big sale. Romano was featured on a 2000 episode ofWho Wants to Be a Millionaire, on which he won US$125,000 for the NYPD's D.A.R.E. Unit. His older brother, Richard Romano (born in 1956), is a sergeant with the NYPD, and he has a younger brother, Robert Romano (born 1965). In 2001, Romano was named one of E!'s top twenty entertainers of the year. That same year he was featured with his brother (a teacher at a school in Long Island) on a New York Police Department recruiting poster. In 2004 he became the highest-paid television actor in history for his role of Raymond on CBS'sEverybody Loves Raymond. It was later revealed on E! that he had broken another record by his show having the highest revenue at US$3.9 billion. On December 13, 2003, Romano was featured as a special guest star, sending a birthday card to Bob Barker in his eightieth-birthday bash on the twenty-seventh "Million Dollar Spectacular" special of the long-running daytime CBS seriesThe Price Is Right. Romano was the subject of the documentary film,95 Miles to Go. The film documents Romano's road-trip for a series of rides across the south of the United States. The film was released in theaters on April 7, 2010, by [6] ThinkFilm. In August 2006 Romano was interviewed in front of a live audience at UCLA by fellow stand-up veteran, David Steinberg, for an episode ofSit Down Comedy with David Steinberg. The program first aired on the TV Land network in March 2007. Romano returned to television with a new dramedy for TNT in 2008,Men of a Certain Age, which he co-created with formerEverybody Loves Raymondwriter, Mike Royce. It co-starred Scott Bakula and Andre Braugher. Romano made an appearance in the seventh season of NBC showThe Officeas Merv Bronte, an anxious job applicant interviewing for the job left vacant by Michael Scott. Romano made an appearance in the third season premiere of ABC sitcomThe Middleas Nicky, a friend of Mike, who ruined his and Frankie's honeymoon. Romano was the second actor fromEverybody Loves Raymondto be reunited with Patricia Heaton onThe Middle. Doris Roberts guest-starred in three episodes in the second season as Ms. Rinsky, Brick Heck's third grade teacher, who dislikes Frankie. Ray joined the cast ofParenthoodbeginning September 11, 2012.[7]

Ray Romano

Personal life

Romano married his wife, Anna, on October 11, 1987. They met while working at a bank together. They have four children: one daughter, Alexandra (born 1990), and three sons: twins Matthew and Gregory (born 1993), and Joseph Raymond (born February 16, 1998).

Romano's on-screen daughter forEverybody Loves Raymondwas named after his real-life daughter. Also, in the series pilot, Ray and Debra's twin boys were named after Gregory and Matthew, Romano's real twin sons, but Romano felt it was too weird to have all his TV kids have the same names as his real kids, so they changed the twins' names to Geoffrey and Michael on screen.

Romano at the 2010 World Series of Poker main event

Romano's family has made various appearances in the show. Romano's real-life daughter Alexandra "Ally" Romano made several appearances onEverybody Loves Raymondas Molly, the best friend of his on-screen daughter, Ally, and the daughter of Ray Barone's arch-nemesis, Peggy the Cookie Lady. Romano's father, Albert Romano, has made various appearances as "Albert", one of Frank Barone's lodge buddies in various episodes such as "Debra at the Lodge", and "Boys' Therapy". Romano's brother, Richard Romano, has appeared in the episodes "Golf For It", "Just a Formality" and "The Toaster".

Romano competed in the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 World Series of Poker. In early 2010, Romano starred in the second season of The Golf Channel's original seriesThe Haney Projectin which Tiger Woods' former coach, Hank Haney, attempts to improve the golf games of different celebrities and [8] athletes. Charles Barkley starred in the first season. Romano's goals are to finish the show being able to break 80. Romano took time off from the show to be with his father, Albert Romano, who died in March 2010. The show resumed on May 24. Romano is also a regular competitor in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am; where he finished fifth in 2012 with partner, Australian professional Steven Bowditch. It was the first time Romano had qualified for the final round after failing to do so on 11 successive occasions, previously.

In February 2012, Romano revealed that his wife, Anna, had successfully battled stage one breast cancer in 2010. Romano toldPeoplemagazine that "the reason we're going public is to share our experience, yeah, but to have an [9] effect. Our goal is to help people."
