#5: Brad Garrett as Robert Barone
Paid est. $400,000 per episode
Robert Barone was the towering, awkward older brother whose jealousy and dry humor made every family scene funnier. Constantly overshadowed by Ray, he balanced frustration with genuine sweetness. His odd quirks, slow delivery, and deadpan reactions gave the show some of its most hilarious and heartfelt moments.

Before Everybody Loves Raymond, Brad Garrett was already a successful stand-up comedian and voice actor. His deep voice and impeccable timing brought Robert to life in a way that felt both ridiculous and real. The role turned him into one of sitcom’s most memorable supporting characters.
