Ray Romano became a household name when he got the lead role on Everybody Loves Raymond. As Raymond Barone, he was born to parents Frank and Marie, and was the younger brother of Robert. Apart from his mother’s blatant favoritism for him, another thing that the show focused on was his relationship with his wife Debra. As a sportswriter who was often on the road, he hardly helped his wife when it came to household chores. Known for his whiny nasal voice and his inability to assert himself, he had many psychological problems rooted from his childhood, having an uncommunicative father and an overprotective mother.
