Brad Garrett played Ray Romano's big brother Robert on the hit CBS series Everybody Loves Raymond, which has earned him five Emmy Award nominations, and in 2002, 2003, and 2005, Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. After high school graduation, Garrett began performing his stand-up act at various Los Angeles comedy clubs, getting his start at the Ice House in Pasadena, and the Improv in Hollywood. His first appearance at age 23 on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson made him one of the youngest comedians ever to perform on the program. From this appearance, Garrett's stand-up career took off, garnering him headlining gigs at national venues, as well as opening spots for legends, including Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, Julio Iglesias, Liza Minnelli, and Sammy Davis Jr. In 1989, the Las Vegas Review-Journal named Garrett the "Best Comedian" working on the Strip. Garrett's television guest roles range from stints on Roseanne and Mad About You, to his trademark role of the obsessive mechanic on Seinfeld. In nine seasons on CBS, Everybody Loves Raymond continued to be a critical and ratings success, posting numbers worthy enough to win its time slot every week. Garrett's voice-over work includes giving life to Fatso, the ghost in the 1995 mega-hit feature Casper, and he can be heard playing the part of Dim, the rhinoceros beetle in the Pixar/Disney feature A Bug's Life and Bloat the blowfish in Pixar/Disney's Finding Nemo. He has since been seen in HBO's Don King: Only in America, George B., which was a finalist at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival, Suicide Kings, Showtime's Club Land, and director Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown. Garrett has also guest hosted the Late Show with David Letterman. In 2002, Garrett played Jackie Gleason in the critically-acclaimed CBS film Gleason, for which he earned an Emmy Award nomination and Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Movie or Miniseries. He starred in Disney’s hit comedy The Pacifier, Warner Bros.' Music and Lyrics, and on Broadway, in Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple. He can be heard in Fox’s Night at the Museum, Pixar’s animated film Ratatouille, Disney’s Underdog, and starred in the Fox comedy series, 'Til Death.
