Hi Ray. I just want to tell you that I am a little disappointed in you. I saw you live during your midwest tour this past spring, and you dodged a small handful of people after your show, who just wanted their books (that they bought at the show) autographed. I could understand if there was a huge mob of people waiting for you, but there was maybe only 20 of us. I didn't think you were like that. I still think you're the bomb, though!!! Take Care.
Ray responds:
Holly, Please accept my apologies. I had no idea people were waiting. Please know that anytime I am approached for an autograph or photo, I go out of my way to respond. After that show, I was told where to go, and was following a stagehand that directed me to my car. At this particular show, for reasons unknown to me, we had a police car escort us out of the parking lot. Yours isn't the first note about this, but just know that if I had seen fans there I would have come over, especially fans that are nice enough to buy my book and come to the show.

Hey Ray. Thanks for responding to my letter.I didn't think that was like you (to dodge your fans). I'll admit that after being so thrilled to see you live,I was a little deflated after the show. But, the fact that you bothered to respond to my letter shows me what a great guy that you are!! Your parents did a wonderful job, and be sure to tell them that!!

Dolores M. writes:
You remind us so much of our son! We were truly disappointed at the ending to your final show of the season. It was not good that Marie would not forgive Deborah!
Ray responds:
Well, fortunately that was not the last show of the series. Hopefully, the two ladies will reconcile, because I don't like it either. We'll have to come back in September and see. You'll be there, won't you?

Eric S. writes:
I heard that you're moving to a house in Westport CT. If that's true I did a portion of the heating and a/c in that house. So if your cool in the summer and warm in the winter just nod your head and say thanks Eric, I'm really comfortable. You did us a solid man. If your not moving, you can blame my co-worker. I have a question after all this rambling & who was your favorite
Stooge?
Ray responds:
In answer to your questions: I am not moving to CT. I don't know where your co-worker got that info from, but they better check their sources, and, Mo.

Edward G. writes:
People always tell me that I look just like you. Can I be your stunt double? I'm 39 years old, skinny, about 5'11" and have your hair. I'm told that I have that complaining voice like you do. My parents are just like Marie and Frank Barone and my wife is like Debra Barone.
Ray responds:
You poor guy. You're probably the good-looking version of me, which still isn't that good. You say you have my hair, voice and look; all you need is the flat rear-end and you're in business. Next time Ray Barone has to drive a motorcycle off a balcony into a pool, I'll give you a call.

Simon T. asks:
Hey Ray, do you enjoy eating pie?

Ray responds:
I do. Cherry preferably, I'll take apple, I'm not gonna throw out pumpkin, and with a scoop of ice cream I'm good with pecan.

Patti G. asks:
Okay, I promise I won't start out by telling you what loyal fans of yours we are, and how your show makes all of us laugh out loud. (By the way -- thanks!) My question is: Did you write the episode about Robert's interview with the FBI? That was, by far, the funniest one yet!
Ray responds:
Thanks for thinking the FBI episode was the best one yet. It's kind of a bittersweet compliment though, because not only didn't I write it, I was barely in it! I agree though & one of the funniest.

Jeff L. asks:
Mr. Romano, besides acting, what are few things in your life that
really make you happy?
Ray responds:
Here's a list of things besides acting that make me happy, in no particular order:
My kids.
Playing golf well.
The beach.
My wife.
Playing golf not well.
New York City pizza.
Performing stand-up comedy.
Really sucking in golf.
Q-tips after a shower.

Gary L. asks:
What would you be doing today if you had not stuck with your stand-up work?
Ray responds:
That's a scary thought. I have no idea. I probably would have had to move somewhere where I could pull a rickshaw for a living. I'm very lucky I found comedy, although in reading my answer again, I realize that I don't always have it with me.

Melissa K. asks:
Everytime you come into the house (on the show) you call Debra some "cute" name.
I don't think I have ever heard you use the same name twice. Do you make up what you're going to call her on the spot?
Ray responds:
Well, you're very observant, crunch nugget. Usually we have one name planned but then on the second and third takes I try to come up with something on the spot. Does that answer your question, pinky pickle?
