Actor and stand-up comic Anthony Clark, known for "Yes, Dear" and "Boston Common," died at age 62, with his cause of death not yet disclosed.
Actor and comedian Anthony Clark, best known for his role as Greg Warner on the CBS sitcom "Yes, Dear" and for starring in the NBC series "Boston Common," died at 62. The Los Angeles Times reported that his cause of death has not been released.
"Anthony Clark died yesterday. He was a hilarious guy. When my wife Lisa and I were dating back in the mid-nineties, Anthony was already famous in Boston, regularly selling out comedy shows. The first time we saw him at The Comedy Connection we laughed and laughed and laughed. He was so unique—one of those comics who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations. I was a fan before I was a friend. We spoke on the phone three weeks ago. He had us laughing loudly once again," wrote actor Mike O’Malley on social media.
Clark, born April 4, 1964, in Lynchburg, Virginia, began his career as a stand-up performer while attending Emerson College. He appeared in an HBO young comedians special in 1995 alongside Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K., and later transitioned to acting, with early film roles in "Dogfight" (1991) and "The Thing Called Love" (1993). His television work included six seasons of "Yes, Dear," as well as lead parts in "Soul Man" and hosting the fourth season of "Last Comic Standing." He also made appearances on "Ellen" and "West of Liberty."
"It was an honor to represent him and he will be missed for the joy, happiness, and love he brought to everyone he worked with and the audiences that were blessed to see his undeniable performances," said longtime manager Barry Katz in an emailed statement.
