Raised in Woodland Hills, CA, and
the son of a hearing aid specialist
who worked in geriatrics and a
full-time housewife, Garrett began
performing stand-up at various Los
Angeles Comedy Clubs upon graduation
from high school. Spending six weeks
at UCLA before his fateful
appearance on the Tonight Show, the
young comedian later felt the wrath
of that show's grudge after telling
a joke that the talent booker had
warned him against. Garrett has
since never been invited back.
Nevertheless he continued on
strongly, opening for Frank Sinatra
and soon finding roles in such
popular television shows as
Roseanne, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,
and Seinfeld. Offering his voice
(and sometimes his face) to numerous
features since his breakout in the
early '80s, Garrett has appeared in
or contributed to Casper (1995) and
A Bug's Life (1998), as well as
starring in the comedy-thriller
Postal Worker in 1998. Hitting his
stride as Raymond's older brother in
Everybody Loves Raymond, Garrett
retains his self-depreciating sense
of humor despite his nearly
two-decades-long success streak.
