Ray Romano quit stand-up comedy twice before finding massive success

Ray Romano didn't give up on his stand-up comedy dreams, even though he was shot down twice. He passed his work ethic on to his twin sons, which was revealed in "The Romano Twins" documentary.

"I gave it up twice. You know, I got beat down my first time. I gave it up, and I got beat down the second time again." Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to janelle.ash@fox.com. 

In November, Romano's twin sons, 31, released their documentary, "The Romano Twins." In the documentary, the "Everybody Loves Raymond" star discussed how he gave all of his children advice when it came to their careers and revealed that he quit his dreams not once, but twice.

"He goes on a little stand-up trip, and he goes to these little dives, and he tries stand-up for the first time, and the people aren't even facing the stage. There aren't even people in there. And of course, it doesn't go well, and he takes it very personal," the star said of his youngest son, Joseph Romano.
