Sawyer Sweeten Biography

Sawyer Sweeten was an American child actor, best known for playing ‘Geoffrey Barone’ in the hit ‘CBS’ sitcom, ‘Everybody Loves Raymond.’ Blessed with a career that could have touched superstardom in Hollywood and a talent that could have reached its vantage point in a few years, Sawyer Sweeten left the film fraternity devastated when he committed suicide at a very young age. He was only 19 years old when he shot himself while visiting a family member in Texas in 2015. He starred in ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ alongside his real-life twin brother, Sullivan, and elder sister, Madylin. He became a part of the sitcom when he was just 16 months old.
