Guest Casting News: Ray Romano on The Middle, Ricky Gervais on Family Guy

nndb.com

In what is being touted as an "Everybody Loves Raymond" reunion of sorts, Ray Romano will be heading to the ABC comedy The Middle, where he will star alongside his former on-screen wife Patricia Heaton.


But it's not the first time a "Raymond" alumnus has guested on the show, with Doris Roberts appearing in the Season 2 premiere.


Romano will play "Nicky Kohlbrenner, a man from Frankie Heck's (Heaton) past. Look for the character to have had some involvement in ruining Frankie's honeymoon many years ago," according to AOL TV.


This news will be bitter-sweet for Romano-fans, as it comes at the same time as his TNT show Men of a Certain Age was cut down in its prime after only two seasons.


Ricky Gervais will also be lending his voice to a character on the popular Fox series Family Guy. He will play Billy Flinn, a dolphin who moves to Quahog, according to TV Fanatic.


But here's the twist (if the fact he was playing a dolphin wasn't a twist enough): he will be sticking around for a full season.


Family Guy is Gervais' favourite show, and this appearance only adds to the mountainous list of projects he has lined up for 2011-12.
