The fictional Ray Barone is based loosely on the real-life Romano. For example, Barone is a father of twins on the show, and Romano also has a pair of twins of his own. (However, Romano and his actual wife, Anna Scarpula, have a total of four children, while the fictional Ray and Debra have only three.) And Robert Barone is based on Romano's real-life brother, who is a sergeant with the NYPD.
