Anthony Clark, an American actor and comedian, has died

Anthony Clark, an American actor and comedian best known for his role as Greg Warner in the sitcom “I’ll Get Divorced Someday,” has died at the age of 62. The news of his passing, which occurred on Tuesday, November 10, was announced by Mike O’Malley, his friend and co-star on the series, in a post on Instagram. At this time, the location and cause of death have not been disclosed.

In his tribute, O’Malley recounted speaking with Clark on the phone just three weeks before his death. Even on that occasion, the comedian had managed to make his friends laugh heartily, proving he hadn’t lost his characteristic sense of humor. He also explained that, thanks to careful management of his earnings, Clark had decided to largely retire from the spotlight after the sitcom ended. The message concluded with a heartfelt farewell: “Rest in peace, Tony.”

Born on April 4, 1964, in Lynchburg, Virginia, Clark graduated in 1986 with a degree in mass communication from Emerson College in Boston. Even during his college years, he had demonstrated a remarkable talent for comedy, winning the Top College Comedian award at the American Collegiate Talent Showcase. His career began with stand-up comedy, a passion he continued to pursue even after achieving popularity on television.

His small-screen debut came in 1991, with an appearance on the series “American Playhouse.” Five years later, he landed his first leading role in the sitcom “My Brother and Me,” which aired for two seasons between 1996 and 1997. He played Boyd Pritchett, a young man from Virginia who moves to Boston to be close to his sister, who has just enrolled in college, but ends up working in the student union and getting caught up in a series of comical situations.

His breakthrough came in 2000 with “Divorced,” a CBS sitcom that aired for six seasons, through 2006. Playing Greg Warner, Clark was one of the leads in a comedy centered on the daily lives of two young couples grappling with family life and very different ideas about raising children.
