Raymond Romano (born December 21 1957 in Queens, New York) is an American actor and comedian. He is best known for being the star for the comedy series Everybody Loves Raymond.

Early life

---

Romano, an Italian American, was born in Queens, New York to Albert and Lucie Romano. Romano attended Elementary and Middle High School in Forest Hills, New York, at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, the same Parochial School that produced Pia Zadora and David Caruso. Before breaking into show business, Romano had planned to become an accountant.

Career

---

Romano started his career appearing on many outlets including Comedy Central. He was originally cast to play "Joe" on the now-canceled American television sitcom NewsRadio, but was fired, to be replaced by Joe Rogan. It was revealed that his particular brand of verbal comedy did not mix well with the fast-paced repartee of the rest of the cast. Shortly thereafter, he would become the star of his own show, Everybody Loves Raymond, that featured a cast and format which was more suitable to Romano's brand of humor.
