Actor and comedian Anthony Clark, best known for his starring role as Greg on the 2000s CBS comedy "Yes, Dear," has died. He was 62.
Clark's longtime friend and "Yes, Dear" costar Mike O'Malley announced
his death on social media Wednesday, Nov. 11.
"Anthony Clark died yesterday. He was a hilarious guy," O'Malley, 60, wrote. "He was so unique—one of those comics who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations."
O'Malley said when he and his then-girlfriend came across Clark in the mid-'90s, he was already popular in Boston's comedy scene. "I was a fan before I was a friend," he added.
The pair starred in six seasons of the 2000 sleeper hit sitcom, with Clark playing Hollywood businessman Greg Warner, and O'Malley playing his brother-in-law Jimmy Hughes, whose family comes to live with the Warners. Jean Louisa Kelly played his stay-at-home wife Kim, while Liza Snyder played Kim's sister and Jimmy's wife, Christine.
O'Malley shared two photos of Clark on the last episode of the series, which was canceled in 2006. "We spoke on the phone three weeks ago. He had us laughing loudly once again," he continued. "Rest in peace. Tony."
