Everybody Loves Raymond

Cast

Main characters

• Raymond "Ray" Barone (Ray Romano), the main character. Ray is a sportswriter for Newsday.
• Debra Barone (Patricia Heaton), Ray's wife. Much of the show's humor is derived from Debra's constant attempts to deal with the many quirks of her "in-laws," her husband's family.
• Robert Barone (Brad Garrett), Ray's brother, is an NYPD police officer. Though Robert is four years older than Ray, he constantly feels as if he's stuck in Ray's shadow, and lets his feelings be known.
• Marie Barone (Doris Roberts), the matriarch of the family. She is obsessed with cooking and with having a clean house.
• Frank Barone (Peter Boyle), Marie's husband and the father of Ray and Robert. A boorish slob, he constantly complains about his relationship with his wife, yet in many episodes, a sort of love between Frank and Marie is evident.
