That's very sad. I love that show.



quote:

Sawyer Sweeten -- one of the twins from "Everybody Loves Raymond" -- committed suicide Thursday morning, according to his sister.
19-year-old Sawyer reportedly shot himself while visiting family members in Texas. His older sister Madilyn Sweeten -- who was also on 'Raymond -- confirmed the death to TMZ, saying ... "This morning a terrible family tragedy occurred. We are devastated to report that our beloved brother, son, and friend took his own life."
Sawyer played Geoffrey Barone -- one of Ray Romano's twin boys -- on the series from 1996 to 2005. He not only co-starred with Madilyn, but also his real life twin brother Sullivan.
His 20th birthday was just a few weeks away.
Madylin posted on Facebook on Thursday afternoon ... "At this time I would like to encourage everyone to reach out to the ones you love. Let them have no doubt of what they mean to you.”

One of the twins?

Damn that has to be tough for your twin to commit suicide.


Also just found out that the twins and the daughter were actually brother sister.

The actors who played the twin brother Geoffrey and Michael, and sister Ally, were real life siblings. I didn't know that until I googled re this news.

The kid who played Geoffrey is the one who died.

I would do everything in my power to keep a child of mine from being a child actor.

I used to watch that show sometimes and forgot Raymond even had kids. They didn't get much screen time for sure.

Which was the unique thing about the show. This show was about Raymond's relationship to his family. The kids were in it, but only when they served to advance the storyline, and they related to their parents in a fairly realistic way. Too many family sitcoms feature bratty kids, with the adults as secondary, often doltish, characters.

ELR wasn't a GOAT show, but that element of it was very refreshing.
