Comedian Anthony Clark, star of "Yes, Dear," dies at 62
Actor and stand-up comic Anthony Clark, known for his role on the CBS sitcom "Yes, Dear," died at age 62, according to co-star Mike O'Malley.
Anthony Clark, who began his career as a stand-up comedian before starring on the CBS sitcom "Yes, Dear," died at age 62, his co-star Mike O'Malley announced on social media. > "When my wife Lisa and I were dating back in the mid-nineties, Anthony was already famous in Boston, regularly selling out comedy shows…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," O'Malley wrote.
Clark is best remembered for his role alongside O'Malley, Jean Louisa Kelly and Liza Snyder on "Yes, Dear," which aired from 2000 and ran for six seasons. Earlier in his career, he appeared in HBO's 1995 "Young Comedians" special with Garry Shandling, Dave Chappelle, Dave Attell and Louis C.K. Two years later, he played Billy in Peter Bogdanovich's film "A Thing Called Love," sharing the screen with River Phoenix, Samantha Mathis, Dermot Mulroney and Sandra Bullock. He also had a cameo as a barber who cut Sean Connery's hair in Michael Bay's "The Rock."
On television, Clark led the short-lived series "Boston Common" and "Soul Man." In 2006, he returned to his comedy roots as the host of the fourth season of "Last Comic Standing."
