Here’s What Your Favorite Everybody Loves Raymond Stars Are Up To Now

If you turned on your TV between 1996 and 2005, chances are you caught at least one episode of Everyone Loves Raymond. The hugely popular sitcom follows the Long Island-based Barone family, with the series’ titular character at the helm. Ray is a pretty normal guy, though – and that may be why audiences connected with him and his relatives so much. But it’s been years since their story ended, so whatever happened to the cast? Here we tell all. 

20. Stan – Victor Raider-Wexler

Victor Raider-Wexler appeared in nine episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond as Stan, a buddy to Frank Barone. The two know each other from the Caribou Lodge – a social club where Frank and his pals lounge in the sauna and hang by the bar.

Raider-Wexler has kept himself quite busy since his Raymond days. You may have seen him guest star in House or Without a Trace. Or you could have heard his voice in one of six episodes of American Dad, in which – perhaps ironically – he voiced a character named Ray. And he also played Mr. Kaplan in another comedy, The King of Queens, until it ended in the 2000s. Voice and narration jobs seem to take up a lot of his time these days. 

19. Garvin – Len Lesser

Len Lesser played one of Frank Barone’s friends named Garvin. You may remember him a bit more than Stan, as he has a signature move in the show. Every time he sees Ray, Garvin raises his hands in the air in joy. And if you ever watched Seinfeld, you get the reference. Lesser is Jerry’s uncle in that show, and that character does the same thing whenever his nephew appears.  

Lesser worked a bit after his handful of Everybody Loves Raymond appearances. He played Grampa Joey in 2005’s Raw Footage and Inspector Krol in Frankenstein & the Werewolf Reborn!, which came out the same year. But Lesser sadly passed away in February 2011 from pneumonia, aged 88.
