Brad Garrett stars as Eddie Stark on FOX's "'Til Death."

Brad Garrett played Ray Romano's big brother Robert on the hit series "Everybody Loves Raymond," earning five Emmy Award nominations and Emmy wins in 2002, 2003 and 2005 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

Brad Garrett, raised in Woodland Hills, CA, was born on April 14, 1960. After high school graduation, Brad 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 on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" at age 23 made him one of the youngest comedians ever to perform on the program.

Brad Garrett's stand-up career then 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 Brad Garrett the "Best Comedian" working on the Strip.

Brad Garrett next made his foray into the world of television. Brad Garrett's television guest roles range from stints on "Roseanne" and "Mad About You" to his trademark role of the obsessive mechanic on "Seinfeld" (you may remember him stealing Jerry's Saab in order to teach him a lesson about poor auto maintenance).

In its nine seasons, "Everybody Loves Raymond" was a critical and ratings success. Brad Garrett portrayed Ray Barone's (Ray Romano) brother "Robert," the NYPD policeman whose existence was constantly overshadowed by his sports-writer sibling. Their rivalry helped coin the title line, "Everybody Loves Raymond."

Brad Garrett's voiceover work includes giving life to "Fatso," the ghost in the 1995 feature "Casper." Brad Garrett can also be heard as "Dim," the rhinoceros beetle, in the feature "A Bug's Life," and as "Bloat" the blowfish in "Finding Nemo."

Brad Garrett has since been seen on cable TV's "Don King: Only in America." Brad Garrett's feature film credits include "George B" with David Morse, which was a finalist at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival; "Suicide Kings" with Christopher Walken; Showtime's "Clubland" with Alan Alda; and director Woody Allen's "Sweet & Lowdown," with Sean Penn and Uma Thurman. Brad Garrett has also guest-hosted "The Late Show" for a sidelined David Letterman.

In 2002, Brad Garrett played Jackie Gleason in the critically acclaimed network television film "Gleason," for which he earned an Emmy Award nomination and a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Movie or Miniseries. Brad Garrett starred in the hit comedy "The Pacifier," and on Broadway in Neil Simon's "The Odd Couple." Brad Garrett is heard in the animated film "Ratatouille" and stars in the feature "Music and Lyrics By" with Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore.
