Ray Romano on How ‘No Good Deed’ Is Unlike Anything He’s Done BeforeDescription
The major thing about Netflix’s No Good Deed that appealed to Ray Romano was that it was unlike anything he’d done before. “I read about three scripts, and at the end of each there was a little twist, a little turn, [and] it was funny.” The dramedy series follows families looking to buy a home owned by Paul and Lydia Morgan (Romano and Lisa Kudrow). “You can tell a person’s good or bad, not from one incident, [but] from overall. We get to see that these are good people going through bad situations.” The series uses comedic actors in sometimes-dramatic situations (yet still humorous). “You know both of us, Lisa and I, from sitcoms—her sitcom was much more well-known than ours, but we have our fans, too. If they allow us to show this other [heavier] side, I think it’s very effective.” Romano, who shot to fame with Everybody Loves Raymond, says he still gets intimidated working with celebrities like Kudrow. “You imbue this persona to these people that are celebrities and icons and whatnot, and then after you get to spend time with them, they’re just people.”
