Anthony Clark, comedian who was widely recognised for his work on the CBS sitcom Yes, Dear passed away at the age of 62.

Comedian’s former castmate Mike O’Malley announced his death in a heartfelt tribute post on social media.

“Anthony Clark died yesterday. He was a hilarious guy,” he wrote in a post on his Instagram.

O’Malley, recalling his last conversation with the late comedian, wrote, “We spoke on the phone three weeks ago. He had us laughing loudly as he always did. He invested his money well and essentially retired after we wrapped. Rest in peace, Tony.”

Born on April 4, 1964, in Lynchburg, Virginia, Clark pursued mass communication and graduated from Emerson College in 1986.

During his time at Emerson, his instinct for comedy earned him national acclaim by winning the Top College Comedian Award from the American Collegiate Talent Showcase.

He made his onscreen debut on an episode of American Playhouse in 1991. But his big breakthrough came in 1996 when he starred on the NBC comedy series Boston Common.

What made Clark a household name among American sitcom audiences was his character Greg Warner on Yes, Dear, which ran for six seasons from 2000 to 2006.

The storyline of the show centred around two young couples and their outrageously contrasting views on parenting.

His other acting credits included Dogfight, The Thing Called Love, Ellen, The Rock, Soul Man, Say Uncle, My Uncle Rafael and West of Liberty.
