Ray Romano is known by younger voices as a star of the Ice Agefranchise. However, he became more widely recognized for his role in the CBS show Everybody Loves Raymond. The show ran nine seasons until 2005. This was much to the dismay of many fans who wanted to continue to follow the adventures of the Barone Family.
You might not be aware that Everybody Loves Raymond was produced in just one workweek. The actors read the script on Monday. After script tweaking and camera blocking, filming began on Friday. The house in Merrick, New York where ELR filmed has now been valued at $500,000.
Romano, who has received Emmy awards for over 30 years, is now one of the richest actors in history, thanks to his royalty checks. Romano earns about $18 million per year in show residuals. It’s no wonder that he made Forbes list of rich celebrities.
