Anthony Clark, 1964 – 2026

Actor Anthony Clark, who starred in the sitcom Yes, Dear, died on Nov. 10. He was 62. Clark started his career as a stand-up comic, and by the early 1990s was appearing on TV and in movies in Ellen, Dogfight, The Thing Called Love, Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, and The Rock. He nabbed costarring roles in the series Soul Man and Boston Common, and from 2000-06 starred as husband and dad Greg Warner in Yes, Dear. His career slowed after that, though he appeared in Grad Night, My Uncle Rafael, and 2019’s West of Liberty. Clark told writer Sean McCarthy, “I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have a career. I’ve done 12 movies. I’ve been on Broadway in a Tony Award-winning play… I think I love stand-up because the reaction is immediate. There’s no director. There’s no writer. No producer. There’s just you. You just get out there and vent. I don’t know why people think I’m funny. But I’m glad they do. I don’t want to have a real job. I just want to hang out.”
