After having his hands on nearly every aspect of the creation of his hit show 'Everybody Loves Raymond', Ray Romano felt a massive creative void that led him down the dark path of "what now?".

I can relate Ray. After "Everybody Loves Raymond" finished up, I went into a cultural tailspin. I haven't followed another series since. I do miss the whole gang but own every episode. It was THE best sitcom ever. Thank You.

Everybody Loves Raymond is one of my favorite sitcom comfort foods of all time. And I have nothing but respect for Ray Romano and everyone else that was involved with the show. That said, its always very interesting to me how 99.99% of the world's population chases money all day long, but the moment you get a good piece of it, it instantly becomes the least important thing in the world.

I enjoyed his role in “Parenthood” and I was rooting for him and Lauren Graham to get together from his very first appearance. And, he was TOTALLY DIFFERENT than in ELR, which made me happy to know that he’d be able to continually work in TV and film as long as HE wanted to. Not every actor can reimagine themselves or get free of the roll that made them famous and it ends a lot of promising careers.

I always wondered what the office would have been like if they'd brought Ray on instead of James Spader. I think he would have killed it.

@MissNayNay 4 жыл бұрын

I think that he would have too. I actually am kind of upset that they didn't keep him and stuck with James Spader. James didn't fit the energy of the show. The characters were awkward, and Ray is awkward. James Spader's character Robert California was so damn creepy. They tried to make it work, but the energy between Spader 's character and the overall tone of the show was always a mismatch. I guess someone could argue that Robert California's awkwardness was in his creepiness, but I don't think so. His character gave off an uncomfortable energy, but it wasn't awkward, at least not the kind of awkwardness that went with the tone of the show. Ray's awkwardness, however, would have been a good fit.

Essentially Ray never played a character on Everybody Loves Raymond, he was literally being himself. When you look at his mannerisms, facial expressions, and articulation, you're looking at Ray Barone lol. Ray Romano and Ray Barone are not polar opposites in the least bit. You could also say the same of Seinfeld. Those comedians were portraying their actual personalities with a fictionalized backstory to accompany it.

@SkeletonManBones 4 жыл бұрын

I disagree with the Seinfeld comment, Michael Richards especially - he was a very serious actor and did not like doing retakes of any scenes really and often got mad at his fellow comedians for laughing too much and not getting through scenes. Jason Alexander, wasn't even playing someone remotely close to him. He was portraying Larry David - he figured that out very early on in the show. Jerry as well, he is a very different person than how he acts on the show.. I mean come on. It's a SHOW so what do you do, you put on a slight face for the camera. Now Julia.. well she was probably the closest person to their character. Never take things at face value, always question the questionable.

I have always loved ELR but I never quite knew just how good he was until I watched the outtakes and bloopers from the show. The jokes that he riffs off the top f his head are hilarious (often not suitable for primetime). And though I didn't stick with the show, I was rather impressed to see him on Vinyl. His Netflix stand up I thought was a little.... rusty. I thought it was a guy getting back into the groove of stand-up - almost in a sense showing us the process as well, which was actually quite brave.

For Romano, it must be unusual for him to find he is anonymous to somebody. As he said, it's like living in a self-imposed bubble. It's amusing when someone says to me, " You've never SEEN some show?!? " or " You've never HEARD some band?!? " They are so incredulous its comical. But we all have our own tastes, our own venues. And according to Romano, he got the part for his talent, not celebrity status.
