ER Rocket Romano

I think this are some great scenes of Romano, with Greene, Weaver, Corday and Carter

[@kevandunkelberg6030]

Paul McCrane was phenomenal as Rocket Romano. He took a loathsome ass of a character and actually made us like him

[@jdb316]

I don’t think I liked him so much as I found his assholery amusing.

[@Werntzy]

Has anyone else ever wondered what a conversation between Dr Romano and Dr House would be like?

[@anthonymendez1997]

😳 Imagine House with his cane and Romano with his prosthetic arm.

[@Werntzy]

@@anthonymendez1997 Oh yes that's another thing they have in common

[@RetroGamer8048]

I would love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.

[@Abi-yt4te]

House: you're arm got cut off, so what! You're either going to persevere or fail, make a choice instead of boring me with self pity. Romano: so long we're on the subject I guess overdosing on pain meds and begging my superior to babysit me all night is out of the question- House: That's Not the point- Romano: THAT IS THE POINT! Every time you stand for something you just show how much of a hypocrite you are, not to mention how much of an ass you can be. This patient doesn't need doxycycline he needs an OR so of you have nothing else to contribute then i suggest you move out of my way, unless you want to be using a wheelchair instead of a cane.

[@niuchemist]

Yea, they made it sound like he had it coming. From my view, Robert Romano was not a bad person. While he was completely insensitive, often rude, and petty, he gave his patients nothing less than the best in care.

[@alamoja]

I actually loved Romano.

[@melanielazare9]

Me too

[@Riley98414]

My fav moment of Romano is where he sign language's to Reece

[@davidhantonmusic]

"Sorry, did you not get the memo?" "What memo?" "The one that says I run the place." Brilliant. Romano was my favorite.

[@jilldevlin535]

David Hanton

[@livkivi]

"I know most people dont like me, i dont care, i dont like most people" He wasnt a bad person, he just had a temper.

[@rosetyner7758]

What a poor excuse of a human being much less a doctor. We all have our foibles and skeletons but he has refined the art of attention-seeking. Even negative attention was ok with him.. No empathy/sympathic care from anyone would even touch this man's soul. He'd so much like my brother who has gone onto, it is scary.

[@peterduncan5873]

​@@rosetyner7758 If Rocket Romano were a real doctor, you'd be an idiot to refuse his services

[@LoveMaskedBandits]

I feel the exact same way. But, I didn't play the character of a great surgeon. I can no longer do what I want to do with my life. Several major health issues. 😢 However, I will NEVER give up!

[@eunicron]

Romano was a great character. It's a ridiculous joke that they killed him off the way they did.

[@alucard624]

McCrane wanted to move on and I don't blame him. Besides, the guy is super talented in front of and behind the camera.

[@michaelmuldowney8]

Producers respected him and basically let him choose his own way of going out. He has directed a lot of episodes from a wide variety of shows.

[@ksgnejgnk]

@@michaelmuldowney8 yeah but a helicopter exploding and falling on him is sooo stupid for a hospital drama.

[@carrietremble4497]

@@ksgnejgnk The scene where the helicopter fell on him was absolutely not only the most ridiculous scene in over 300 episodes/ 15 years of that series, but one of the most ridiculous scenes in all of television. EVER.

[@hawkeyepierce7035]

You gotta love Rocket Romano! Most of the time, he was a heartless bastard but it was in a funny way!

[@HomoDoc]

I miss Romano. You should have included the clip where Romano signs with Reese when Benton has his back turned. It showed his human side. Otherwise a GREAT vid for a GREAT character and actor.

[@SuperDobieGirl]

Mr Greening my favorite is when he rescues Dr Corday’s wedding ring out of the scrub sink.

[@KrazyNick911]

I Love Paul McCrane. Great Actor!!! Dr. Romano was my favorite doctor.

[@joemckim1183]

I'll buy that for a dollar.

[@Relugus]

I think after he lost his arm the writers largely made him very two-dimensional. I think that scene with Corday at the end was great and showed a vulnerability to him. He could not connect with people and was anti-social but being a Doctor was his way of making up for his failings. He did have a softer side; we saw it with Lucy's death, with Benton's son, and Mark Greene. He masked his true feelings behind a cynical exterior. His softer side should have been explored more IMHO.

[@Deimonos85]

yes.. just like morris, started as buffoon and ended up as someone everybody looked up to

[@JavierRodriguez17565]

My favorite Romano moment is when he meets Benton and immediately asks, “do you think Chris Rock is funny”

[@joemckim1183]

Chris Rock is infact funny!

[@bs27v1b]

Probably the most complex character they had on ER. They got lazy and wrote him out in shame. His job was to save lives. Like a drill Sargent he was ugly and repulsive. But when the time came to step up to the plate and save a life, he was the guy that ended up making you fearless as a doctor.

[@alucard1931]

Ironically both Laura Innes and Paul McCrane went on to each direct an episode of House, especially since Greg House has the characteristics of Weaver and Romano.

[@joejoerunya8908]

Dr. Romano was an asshole, but he was OUR asshole lol. great character

[@puniopenetrante]

"Aaahh Kerry looking around men's room?" "Chaging teams again?"

[@joemckim1183]

I think he said lurking and not looking.

[@leeschmitz993]

ERs main characters always shared parallels with each other. It was one of the most unique things about the show. No one character was truly unique, even if they had a few unique qualities. This is why I will never believe that Dr. Romano was truly devoid of a heart. Like Dr. Weaver, and Frank, he was socially awkward, and something devastating had to happen in his life to turn him into the personality we see on the show. Because we see that he does have a soft spot for children in his interactions with Reese Benton. We also see he has a soft spot for animals when he desperately tries to save his dog. We see that losing Mark Greene actually does hurt him when he's choking back tears during his funeral, and when he gets frustrated trying to save a girl with cancer after reading "The Letter", and "Brain Cancer" is the first type of cancer listed in his monologue. Not by accident, either. We see his passion for saving lives in his frustration everytime he loses a patient. We see that he actually does care about the hospital staff when Carter and Lucy are stabbed, and he won't accept that Lucy is dead. In many ways, I think Romano had more heart than any of the ER staff. But he had a disdain for stupid people, dumb questions, and people killing themselves due to violence, and neglecting their health. I feel like many of the remarks he made were a byproduct of possibly watching a loved one (probably his mother, judging by the way he treated certain women) die due to addiction, or something preventable, and his problems with other men were quite possibly the byproduct of an abusive father. I think he got into medicine because he didn't want to be the same person as his parents. In the end, depression, and low ratings did him in.

[@bernardbrown5336]

Well said!

[@wendik.9854]

He was a hard character to like, but I liked him. =)

[@jdb316]

Wendi K. That was the point of his character. His acerbic jibes and insults were meant to provide comedy relief.

[@seer1623]

Wendi K. I totally agree. That was the brilliance of the writing of this show and his acting.

[@carriewildermuth7452]

I loved watching Romano with Lizzie I mean Elisabeth she was the only he was real with he totally loved her

[@akuasharifah]

He didn't like humans, but he loved that dog of his.

[@odysseus7710]

My favorite ER Character, excellent Doctor

[@MasterManto]

"Lizzie, how much would you pay for my sperm?" "I beg your pardon?" "Oh, is that sexual harassament? Oh, oh my, oh." Hehe, I love Romano. His personality is so kick ass.

[@samiam7342]

dr romano was my favorite character on the show, this character fit him so perfectly for his style of acting...........................

[@itsgoff]

To me, ER was put on life support when Greene died and Romano lost his arm. The plug was pulled when the helicopter killed him.

[@reptongeek]

Paul McCrane was great in this role. It does take a special talent to play somebody nasty and speak as fast as he does. I'm a fan of 24 though, so he'll always be Graem Bauer to me!

[@robholx]

Why can't people make montages without adding crappy music without any relevance? It doesn't rain on Romano, Romano rains on YOU.

[@priceja70]

Great compilation!!! For everything one could have hated about him, there was still something about him... personally I really liked Robert, and Paul McCrane gave something to the character I think no one else could have. Thank you!

[@fleetadmiralperry5739]

I completely agree with you pal

Paul McCrane... Love to see more of him.

[@iceberggslim22]

I loved Rocket on the show. He was what the show needed

[@Marilyn1966]

Awesome vid, tysm for uploading! :)

[@jdax21]

Some of my favorite moments in the show are the ones where Dr. Corday calls Romano on his b.s. A lecture about his crappy behavior is quite satisfying in a British accent.

[@danielleal3619]

7:32 The greatest comeback ever in television history! Go Dr Weaver! lol

Weaver was a piece of shit! she couldn't hold a candle to Rocket!

[@Nutopian915]

Oh, not always. Being the smartest guy in the room is a much more difficult burden than the rest of us realize...and that's why nobody usually looks out for that guy. This is the result.

[@Halloffamer333]

I like how Romano was loosing it by the end.

[@giordanotirelli6028]

Happy birthday rocket from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of er

Thanks so much for that it was brilliant. Romano's great, one of my three fav characters - Romano, Melluci (someone needs to do a vid of him) and Greene

[@joankonkle6972]

I do not recall seeing him in anything since this show. Too bad, he was very good. With his shiny head it is strange to think he was in the original Fame movie, which I just looked up and is from all the way back in 1980. 9/10/22

[@dobiegal3039]

[@mary2006er]

Muy buen trabajo gracias.

[@leviathan85]

Could have enjoyed it better without the background music (made it hard to hear the dialogue) but thanks for putting this together.

pleas look at Lizzie's face after romano said 'he was mean to me first' she's just Fab!!!

I LOVE that Dr. Romano got owned right there.

[@jamieschumacher7989]

[@YinzerPitMaster412]

he was a good character and had good development he may of been a jerk but seemed to care deep down.

[@nataliaadamson666]

[@searchanddiscover]

romano is like a cross between dr. house and archie bunker of all in the family.

[@crestfallen999]

yo nice vid. i miss that guy as well. Ever since he "died" Er hasn't been the same, and i stopped watching it altogether.

[@LongVodka]

totally agree with lifef on that one!!! and it was such a sad ending there cause it was true he was great at what he did...the show went downhill when they killed romano...RIP Rocket...miss u

[@lifeflonghabsfan]

It was criminal the way they let him go, death by helicopter. Wasn't it bad enough he'd already been emasculated by one the year before? He was the best. R.I.P. Dr. Romano.

[@freeanimals594]

Loved Rocket Ramano! I'm the same, except I love animals and not most ppl. Ramano was just like Dr. Geiger from the short lived medical show Chicago Hope. Remember Paul Crane's scene from Robo Cop..."I LIKE IT!" in firing the big bang bang as Clarence called it?

[@twoxland]

it still makes me mad the way they killed him off... my only question is why??????

[@joemckim1183]

I think that Paul McCrane asked for that.

[@LoveMaskedBandits]

Most ppl don't like me either and I don't like most ppl. Another of my favs is Mandy Patinkin who played Dr Jeffrey Geiger on the short-lived series Chicago Hope. Just like Rocket.

"So it's true, you're all just suckers for the accent!" LOL "You are one grade A bitch, you know that Kerry." "No Robert, I'm your boss and as long as I am, you're my bitch. Now get your ass back to work." YEAH! I LOVE that quote. One of my favs with my two fav characters.

[@bernardbrown5336]

Despite all of his bravado, I really like Romano. I think his spouting off is just to compensate for his short stature and minor inadequacies!

[@mary2006er]

OMG!!!!!!

[@hughmelochesr8560]

Lose the background music so we can, I don't know, maybe HEAR it??

[@fleetadmiralperry5739]

BEING A SURGEON AND DOCTOR IS ROMANO’S REASON FOR LIVING AND TRUST ME COMPARED TO A LOT OF CHARACTERS ON THAT SHOW THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES

[@bshaun2]

Didn't he catch whats his name smokin a dube right before the chopper landed on him

[@mariaespinoza6358]

morris was smokin' a joint when romano saw him. he took it away from archie and dismissed him. told him to wait for him so they could talk. romano was contemplating using it when the noise of the copter made him look up .. it was just tooo sad that he had to die, especially that way. that was wrong. one copter took his arm and half his life... and now, another was coming to take him completely ...

[@jfluter]

Dr. Weaver: "No, I'm your boss, and that makes you my b*tch." Go Dr. Weaver!

[@hibob418]

Tough to make a character a prick and be somewhat sympathetic at the same time. I spent a lot of my time rolling my at eyes at Dr Romano throughout the series. I think Paul McCrane’s best role was playing astronaut Pete Conrad, the commander of the Apollo 12 mission. Trying to remember the chronology of which episodes came first, but there was a Saturn V rocket model in Dr Romano’s office on the ER set.

yeah the death scene was stupid, and unfortunately after this ER did get poor. :-( i still love it though and the final 5 or 6 seasons were still AS good as other tv shows...just not as brilliant as the previous ones!! i was SO shocked in the first episode of series 8 though. proper shocked!!!

[@ventilator98]

They were a bit hard on Dr. Crater. Everyone Makes mistakes. He fixed his ways, and they while being a lot more careful, should have been a bit kinder.

[@matttrent946]

there wasnt too much more they could really do w/ his character after that HUGE setback thanks to a helicopter's blade and his unfortunate carelessness. he was just a shell of his former self after that and each episode just kicked him further down the ladder he once stood so proudly on... im not making a small man syndrome joke here either. still, DID YOU HAVE TO OPEN WITH THAT FU¢KING SCENE!? goddamn, couldnt even get some yakety sax to highlight how comical and karmic his death was? i do still cringe just as hard as ever w/ every goddamn time he interacts w/ Elizabeth.
