I don't know. There were moments on "Raymond" that at least required some emotion, rather than just playing it for laughs. And there are a lot of funny guys who also have dramatic chops, even if audiences don't want to see them used. But Romano is so identified with the one role, and the one show, that it will be interesting to see how well he steps out of it — and how quickly he can get us past an urge to laugh at anything he says.

Can Ray Romano do a drama? He was great on Raymond but he's a comedian by nature and that show was a sitcom. Can he really handle drama? I mean Jerry Seinfeld was fantastic on Seinfeld but most people would rightfully be skeptical if he signed on to a drama or even announced he was making a guest appearance as a dying patient on ER. I'll reserve judgment but I'm skeptical about this.
