Comedian Anthony Clark dies at 62 from pneumonia complications
Actor and stand-up comedian Anthony Clark, known for his role on "Yes, Dear," died at age 62 due to complications related to pneumonia, his former co-star announced.
Actor and comedian Anthony Clark died on Tuesday at the age of 62, with pneumonia-related complications identified as the cause, according to reports.
Former "Yes, Dear" co-star Mike O’Malley shared the news on social media, noting that Clark had spoken with him just three weeks earlier.
"Anthony Clark died yesterday," O’Malley wrote. "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."
Clark was a prominent figure in the Los Angeles stand-up scene during the 1990s and appeared in an HBO young comedians special in 1995 alongside Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K. He began acting in the early 1990s, with his film debut in the 1991 drama "Dogfight," and later gained wider recognition as Gregory "Greg" Warner on the CBS sitcom "Yes, Dear," which ran for six seasons and 122 episodes.
