Cast of ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’
For nine seasons, the Barone family made America laugh until they cried and cry until they laughed. The show has been praised for its honest depictions of family dynamics, squabbles and love, as well as its generation-spanning characters.
Here’s a refresher on all of the characters in Everybody Loves Raymond.
Ray Romano as Ray Barone
Ray is a sports writer for Newsday who lives in Long Island with his wife, Debra, and their three children: Ally, Geoffrey and Michael.
They’re a charming little family that lives across the street from Ray’s intrusive, loud and opinionated parents, Frank and Marie, and his brother Robert.
Ray’s family is a constant presence in the Barone household. Ray Barone is loosely based on the real life of Ray Romano, who is the father of twin boys and a girl. Ray tends to fold in the face of pressure and is constantly stymied by or scheming with his parents and brother, much to the chagrin of his wife, Debra.
Patricia Heaton as Debra Barone
Raymond’s wife and mother of Ally, Michael and Geoffrey. Debra is a stay-at-home mom who feels overworked, overlooked and stressed out.
What’s definitely not helping is the open-door policy and constant feedback loop her mother-in-law, Marie, abides by. Debra is constantly looking to catch up and just wants one thing to fall her way.
Brad Garrett as Robert Barone
The biggest comedic presence on the show in more ways than one. Robert is a towering 6’8½” NYPD cop bursting with sensitivity, awkwardness and jealousy of the love and attention Raymond receives from their mother.
A still shaken divorcee, Robert is constantly finding himself in social jams, and for much of the show, he doesn’t have much luck with the ladies. But that all changes when he meets his girlfriend and then wife, Amy.
Doris Roberts as Marie Barone
To the outside world, Marie is the epitome of the sweet, sensitive grandmother. But the act doesn’t always hold up in the Barone house, where that sweetness and helpfulness is often seen for artful manipulation.
She excelled as a stay-at-home mom, which constantly leads her to think she knows what’s right and communicate that to everyone.
She and her husband Frank live across the street from Raymond and Debra, constantly dropping in at terrible times and overstaying their welcome.
Desperate for more grandchildren, she also takes a very hands-on role in Robert’s love life, which goes about as well as you’d think.
Peter Boyle as Frank Barone
Frank is the father to Raymond and Robert and husband to Marie. He’s a real estate agent and U.S. Army veteran with a stubborn personality. His annoyance often stems at his sons’ inability to handle their own lives.
He and Marie constantly bicker and belittle, but underneath it all, they share a deep, meaningful love.
Monica Horan as Amy MacDougall
Amy is Debra’s best friend and for much of the show, she’s romantically involved with Robert. They blossomed from on-again, off-again, to boyfriend-girlfriend and were ultimately married.
Amy is a people-pleaser born into a deeply religious family, but eventually adjusts to the much more unconventional nature of the Barones.
Madeline Sweeten as Ally Barone
Ally is the eldest child of Raymond and Debra. She shows promise as a cook, which of course leads her grandmother to think her skills have passed on to the next generation.
Sawyer Sweeten as Geoffrey Barone and Sullivan Sweeten as Michael Barone
These are the twin boys of Raymond and Debra. In real life, Sawyer and Sullivan were twins and the younger brothers to Ally. Sawyer tragically passed away after the show’s airing.
