Hello YouTube - Jim here!
That nasally voice.
His constant whining.
A complete lack of common sense.
Did everybody really love Raymond?
Well, that’s actually not the question we came here to answer.
Rather, we’re looking beyond the characters of the long-running sitcom Everybody Loves
Raymond, and have our sights set on the lads and lasses that portrayed the members of the
dysfunctional Barone family.
While you ponder what’s so endearing about the youngest Barone brother, we’ll bring
the cast back into the spotlight with this edition of Where Are They Now?Before we get
started, help us out by hitting that like button, and be sure to leave us a comment

Peter Boyle – Frank Barone Boyle’s career prior to Everybody Loves
Raymond was robust, filled with memorable roles like that of the monster in Young Frankenstein,
Joe Curran in Joe, and even an Emmy award winning role as Clyde Bruckman on The X-Files.
After Raymond’s last episode, Boyle reprised his role as Father Time in The Santa Clause
3: The Escape Clause, but passed away later that year from multiple myeloma and heart
disease.
Just before his death, Boyle finished his final projects: The Shallow End of the Ocean,
My Profile Story, and All Roads Lead Home, all released posthumously.
Peter was laid to rest at Green River Cemetery in New York.
Doris Roberts – Marie Barone Since 1951, Doris Roberts graced the big screen,
small screen, and even the stage with her large personality and unquestionable talent.
After the finale of Everybody Loves Raymond, she left the role of overbearing mother-in-law
behind and continued to pop up in small roles on shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate
Housewives, and even alongside former co-star Patricia Heaton on The Middle.
In April of 2016, Roberts passed away from a stroke, but her career continued with posthumous
appearances in Zizi and Honeyboy, Adam Astra Casting, and The Red Maple Leaf.
She was laid to rest at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.
Madylin Sweeten – Alexandra Barone After Raymond ended in 2005, the young Madylin’s
career seemed to abruptly end until her appearance in the 2008 film, Eagle Eye… then it fell
silent again until an appearance in The Next Steps in 2013.
Since then, she’s made TMZ headlines more times than any starlet would want after being
involved in a series of lawsuits, starting with one she filed against Bryan James, who,
she claims, conned her into investing in the internet soap Youthful Daze.. which turned
into James suing Sweeten in return.. because, well, being sued hurt his reputation.
Legal drama aside, Sweeten has popped up here and there, specifically in January of 2017
at the Pasadena Rose Parade and in a variety of shorts, including 2017’s Catalyst and
Choice.
Sawyer Sweeten – Geoffrey Barone After leaving behind the life of the Barone
family, Sawyer Sweeten wasn’t quick to pursue a fulfilling acting career.
For a decade, the young actor avoided any major press until his sudden death in 2015
from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
After his death, it was revealed Sawyer had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder and the family had a history of depression.
Sullivan Sweeten – Michael Barone Not everyone from Everybody Loves Raymond
enjoyed years of success after the show’s end.
In fact, aside from an appearance in 2017’s short film Casting, spots on What Not to Wear
and the TV Land Awards, and coverage of his brother’s death, Sullivan has remained largely
out of the spotlight.
Monica Horan – Amy MacDougall Though Amy didn’t join the main cast until
its eighth season, she had ties to the Barone family since season one as Debra’s best
friend.
Since her role on the long-running comedy ended, Monica, who is married to series’
producer, Philip Rosenthal, has added few credits to her career.
Beyond a reunion with her former co-star, Patricia Heaton, on The Middle, Horan appeared
on The Bold and the Beautiful, Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday, Hot in Cleveland, and made headlines
in 2016 when spotted… dining at Buck’s Fishing and Camping in Washington, D.C.?
Seriously… the Washington Post reported on it.
Brad Garrett – Robert Barone The “woe is me” attitude of Ray’s older
brother, Robert, definitely didn’t’ carry over into Garrett’s career or personal life.
Just look at his fiancé, IsaBeall Quella!
His extensive filmography has included dozens of voice overs, like in Tangled and Finding
Dory, multiple guest appearances, and starring roles on Fargo, ‘Til Death, How to Live
with Your Parents, and The Crazy Ones.
In 2017, Garrett joined the cast of the TV movie The Get.
Seeing Brad Garrett today only requires a trip to Las Vegas to his self-titled comedy
club at the MGM Grand, at which he performs frequently.
Patricia Heaton – Debra Barone Like Garrett, Heaton’s on-screen persona
of Debra Barone doesn’t quite match up to the real-life actress.
For one, she doesn’t seem to spend her days at home caring for triplets and fighting off
a passive-aggressive mother-in-law.
Her acting career has been pretty active since 2005, especially as her current sitcom, The
Middle, continues to garner success into its ninth season.
Heaton is also known for her culinary skills, which she enjoys touting with friends and
family on the Food Network’s Patricia Heaton Parties.
In January of 2017, Heaton joined The OneLife LA rally in Los Angeles to speak out in support
of pro-life.
She's also very active on social media - so be sure to follower her on Instagram and Twitter
@PatriciaHeaton.
Ray Romano – Raymond Barone Though Romano likely could have taken his
Everybody Loves Raymond earnings and never worked another day in his life, the actor/comedian
kept at it, reprising his role as Manny in the Ice Age series in 2006, 2009, and 2012.
Since Raymond, Romano has starred in three separate series – Vinyl, Parenthood, and
Men of a Certain Age – has reunited with former on-screen wife, Heaton, on The Middle,
and starred in the 2017 films The Big Sick, Get Shorty, and Robert Klein Still Can’t
Stop His Leg.
Off the big and small screens, Romano held a residency in Las Vegas with David Spade
at the Mirage and, like Monica Horan, garnered local attention in Queens for dining out with
family in March of 2017.
