"Having children is like living in a frat house - nobody sleeps, everything's broken, and there's a lot of throwing up."
~ Ray Romano
Famous stand-up comedian and actor, Ray Romano is perhaps best known for his role in the CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond.
Ray Romano is a tall cookie even if he doesn't look like one.
In the episode "Six Feet Under" on Everybody Loves Raymond, Ray is measured as 5-feet-11¾ inches tall but he argues vehemently that he is 6-feet. However, you should get your clue from the name of the episode -- it is named "Six Feet Under" for a reason.
Later, Ray claims to be 6-feet-1½ inches tall on the commentary of the aforementioned show on "The Canister" episode -- so there is that as well.
From just taking a look at Ray we think he might very well be that tall -- he appears to be as tall as David Letterman (around 6'1½" in his prime) after all.
The height of Ray Romano is
6'1½" or 187 cm
