The rugged Ray Romano will forever be beloved by TV fans for his Emmy winning role on CBS' monster hit which aired from 1996 to 2005, Everybody Loves Raymond. What's not to love about an everyman with a quick wit, dry humor, and a manly bod that leaves panties all wet? Ray was born in Queens, New York on December 21, 1957. A NYC standup scene mainstay and longtime buddy of Kevin James, Ray got his start when he competed in the Johnnie Walker Comedy Search in 1989, then did The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1991. In later years his appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman would cement his ties with CBS, which would eventually be the home of his hit TV series Everybody Loves Raymond after Ray turned down a role on NewsRadio and was replaced by Joe Rogan. Ray'sseries would go on to be nominated for 69, nice!, Primetime Emmy Awards, and won 15 of them. For his lead role in the series, Ray was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series seven times, winning in 2002. Ray never needed to do anything else with his life after cementing his legacy via that show, but he has popped up in all sorts of stuff since then. He voices Manfred the wooly mammoth in the Ice Age (2002) franchise, plays tons of celebrity poker and golf, created and starred in TNT's middle age male dramedy Men of a Certain Age, and had a long run as Hank Rizzoli on Parenthood. But we really went gay for Ray seeing his work as record executive Zak Yankovich on HBO's 70's set music drama Vinyl. At one point, Raymond is lying naked in bed. Although he keeps his naughty bits strategically covered, for the record, he still looks super sexy shirtless. Ray went shirtless again as Rick in the TV adaptation of Get Shorty, where he can be seen lying in bed, post-sex with a large and in charge woman. But if you really want to know what work from Romano will give you the big O, that would be the 2019 film drama about a pair of buddies dealing with a terminal cancer diagnosis, Pendleton (2019). See, in that one Mark Duplass and Ray are naked in a hot tub after assuming a woman wanted more than just a good soak. It ends up she thought they were gay, so Mark bounces and we see all his stuff, but Ray stays so we're stuck imagining what he's packing. Most recently Ray has been playing Hazel's dad Herbert Green on HBO Max's Made for Love. Ray Romano is made for making us laugh, then engaging in some long and slow lovemaking!
