Actor and comedian Anthony Clark, best known for playing Greg Warner in the CBS sitcom Yes, Dear, has died at the age of 62. Clark died on November 10, and his former co-star Mike O’Malley announced his death in a social media tribute the following day.
O’Malley remembered Clark as a comedian who had already built a strong following in Boston before making his way into television. In a post on X, he recalled watching Clark perform at The Comedy Connection in the mid-1990s.
Anthony Clark’s career in television and films
Clark became widely recognized for playing Greg Warner in Yes, Dear, a CBS sitcom about two couples with contrasting lifestyles living under the same roof. He also appeared in television sitcoms including Boston Common and Soul Man. Clark also appeared in an HBO Young Comedians special alongside performers including Dave Chappelle and Dave Attell, building his career in stand-up comedy before becoming a familiar face on television.
The show premiered in 2000 and ran for six seasons, ending in 2006 after 122 episodes. In 2006, he returned to stand-up comedy as the host of the fourth season of Last Comic Standing. His film credits included the 1993 romantic drama A Thing Called Love, starring River Phoenix and Sandra Bullock, and the 1996 action film The Rock, in which he played a hairdresser who cuts Sean Connery’s hair.
Garcia said the two had reconnected in recent years and spoke on the phone every month. He described Clark as having “the most insane sense of humor” of anyone he knew.
