Ray Romano, best known for his role in ‘Everybody Loves Raymond,’ revealed that he quit stand-up comedy not once, but twice before achieving massive success in the industry. In a candid discussion, Romano reflected on his experiences with failure and determination, noting that the first time he quit was due to a lack of confidence and direction in his career. ‘I was doing it for a while and just thought, I never want to do this again,’ Romano shared.

After taking time off, he returned to the stage with a renewed perspective, leading to his eventual breakthrough with the sitcom that catapulted him to fame. Speaking about his experiences, he emphasized the importance of persistence, stating, ‘Everyone struggles. It’s a part of the journey.’ Romano’s story is an inspiring testament to the power of resilience in the face of adversity in the competitive entertainment industry.
