Anthony Clark, the comedian who played Greg Warner on the CBS sitcom Yes, Dear, has died at the age of 62. The news came from his former co-star Mike O’Malley, who played Jimmy Hughes opposite him for six seasons and posted about his friend’s death, People and Deadline reported.

What was Anthony Clark’s cause of death?

Who was Anthony Clark?

Clark started as a stand-up comic in Boston after studying at Emerson College. His first lead role on television was Boyd Pritchett in NBC’s Boston Common in 1996, a Southern man who moves to Boston and takes a janitor’s job at his sister’s college. After that came the ABC sitcom Soul Man, and a small part as a barber in the Nicolas Cage action film The Rock in 1996.

Yes, Dear ran on CBS from 2000 to 2006, six seasons, and Greg Warner was the role people knew him for: the anxious, by-the-book husband sharing his home with his laid-back brother-in-law, played by O’Malley.
