Comedian Anthony Clark’s cause of death has been revealed as complications from pneumonia.
The “Yes, Dear” and “Boston Common” actor died Tuesday, according to his former co-star Mike O’Malley, who announced the news on social media. The stand-up and actor died from complications related to pneumonia according to Deadline. Clark was 62 years old.
“Anthony Clark died yesterday,” O’Malley wrote. “He was a hilarious guy. When my wife Lisa and I were dating in the mid-’90s, Anthony was already famous in Boston, where he regularly sold out houses.
“The first time we saw him at The Comedy Connection, we laughed and laughed and laughed,” O’Malley continued. “He was so unique, one of those comedians who laughs 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 made us laugh hard again.”
Clark was a staple of the Los Angeles stand-up scene in the ’90s. In 1995, he was featured in an HBO young comedian special alongside Dave Chappelle and Louis CK, hosted by Garry Shandling. Clark made his film debut in the 1991 drama “Dogfight,” according to IMDb, but he is perhaps best known for starring as Gregory “Greg” Warner on the hit CBS sitcom “Yes, Dear” alongside O’Malley over six seasons and 122 episodes at the start.
Clark also had starring roles on television shows, including NBC’s “Boston Common” and CBS’ “Soul Man,” and starred in the films “The Rock” and “My Uncle Rafael.” He also hosted the fourth season of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” and appeared on shows like “Ellen” and, most recently, “West of Liberty.”
