‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ Stars: Where Are They Now?

by

Even twenty years after it ended, ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ is still one of America’s favorite TV shows. People continue to enjoy the show’s funny and realistic portrayal of family life, and the hilarious chaos of the Barone family. Since the show wrapped up, the actors have gone on to do many different things – some have remained famous, while others have stepped away from the spotlight, leaving behind memorable careers.

Ray Romano

The comedian, known for playing the main character in his popular show, has successfully moved into serious acting roles. He recently appeared in the Netflix series ‘No Good Deed’ with Lisa Kudrow and the film ‘Fly Me to the Moon.’ He even directed and starred in the film ‘Somewhere in Queens.’ He continues to lend his voice to Manny the Mammoth in the ‘Ice Age’ movies. Romano has proven he’s more than just a sitcom star, earning respect in independent films and on streaming platforms.

Patricia Heaton

Patricia Heaton is just one of those actors who always feels like family on screen, and she proved it again with a fantastic run on ‘The Middle’ after wrapping up her time as Debra Barone. She hasn’t slowed down since, taking on the lead in ‘Carol’s Second Act’ and even starting her own production company, FourBoys Entertainment. I recently saw her in ‘The Unbreakable Boy,’ and it really highlighted her range – she’s equally good at making you laugh and pulling at your heartstrings. Beyond acting, she’s clearly dedicated to giving back, constantly involved in charitable work. Patricia Heaton is still a familiar face on TV, but she’s also quietly becoming a powerful force behind the scenes, and that’s really inspiring to see.

Brad Garrett

The actor best known as Robert Barone has had a busy career in voice acting and comedy. He currently voices the character Otto in the Apple TV+ animated series ‘WondLa’ and has upcoming projects with Disney. He also appeared in the 2024 film ‘Saturday Night,’ which tells the story of the first, chaotic broadcast of ‘Saturday Night Live.’ In addition to his on-screen and voice work, he owns and performs at a popular comedy club in Las Vegas, balancing high-profile jobs with live performances and dramatic roles.

Monica Horan

Judy Horan, who charmingly played Amy MacDougall, has a special connection to the show as the wife of its creator, Philip Rosenthal. Since the series finished, she’s appeared on television a few times, including a regular role on ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’. She often performs in theater and, with her husband, supports many charities. Recently, she’s made guest appearances on comedies like ‘Better Things’, demonstrating her continued comedic talent. While she generally keeps a lower profile than her fellow actors, Judy remains actively involved in the entertainment world.

Doris Roberts

Doris Roberts, best known for playing the memorable Marie Barone, worked consistently throughout her life, even after her popular sitcom ended in 2005. She found a new audience with a hilarious role in the movie ‘Grandma’s Boy’ and continued acting for over six decades. Her talent was recognized with five Emmy Awards, including four for ‘Everybody Loves Raymond.’ A dedicated professional, she also spoke out against ageism in Hollywood. Roberts’ impressive career established her as a true television legend.

Peter Boyle

Raymond actor Peter Boyle was known for bringing both intensity and humor to his roles, most notably as Frank Barone. He passed away in 2006, with his last film, ‘All Roads Lead Home,’ released after his death. While he was famous for playing the Monster in ‘Young Frankenstein’ early in his career, ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ felt like the perfect ending to a varied and successful career. His grumpy, yet lovable, portrayal of Frank Barone remains one of the most memorable sitcom dad performances of all time. Boyle was celebrated for his impressive ability to seamlessly switch between dramatic and comedic roles.

Madylin Sweeten

The actress who played Ally Barone on the show continued acting occasionally while also exploring other creative interests. She’s made guest appearances on TV series like ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Lucifer’ and has performed on stage with the Loft Ensemble. Beyond acting, she works as a designer for a home furnishings company and had her first child in 2025. She recently reunited with her former TV family to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary and reminisce about her time growing up on set. She’s currently the most visible of the actors who played the Barone siblings.

Sullivan Sweeten

Sullivan Sweeten, who played Michael Barone, has mostly stepped away from acting since the show finished. He had a small role in the 2017 short film ‘Casting,’ but has generally preferred a quiet, private life. He recently appeared with his former co-stars for a televised reunion in November 2025. Sweeten has discussed the difficulties of being a child actor and values his privacy. His appearance in the recent special was a heartwarming moment for fans of the show.

Sawyer Sweeten

Sawyer Sweeten, who played Geoffrey Barone on the show, was a child actor watched by millions over its nine seasons. Sadly, he passed away by suicide in 2015 at just 19 years old. His death had a profound impact on everyone involved with the show, and they’ve since worked to raise awareness about mental health. The upcoming 2025 reunion special will include a special segment remembering him and his work on the series. His TV family remembers him as a cheerful and funny person to be around.
