Ray Romano

New Yorker Ray's original ambitions to become an accountant were scuppered when Everyone Loves Raymond came onto American small screens.

A few TV shows later, the father of four delighted his kids by landing the lead voice role in hit animation feature, Ice Age.

The crime caper Eulogy is Ray's next project, in which he will, star opposite Winona Ryder and Hank Azaria.

Voted by American entertainment channel E!'s viewers as a top entertainer, Ray's popularity should allow his TV to film transition to become an easy move.
