A cause of death has reportedly been revealed for actor and comedian Anthony Clark.
Known for starring on shows like Yes, Dear and Boston Common, Clark died Nov. 10, at 63.
Mike O’Malley and Dane Cook are among the friends and colleagues who have paid tribute to Clark.
A cause of death has been reported for Anthony Clark, the Virginia-born actor and comedian known for his work on sitcoms including Yes, Dear and Boston Common.
Clark’s death Tuesday at 63 was caused by complications related to pneumonia, according to Deadline Hollywood.
Clark’s death was announced by his friend and Yes, Dear costar Mike O’Malley, who remembered him as “so unique — one of those comics who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations and it just made you laugh harder because he was laughing.” He added, “I was a fan before I was a friend.”

In a comment on O’Malley’s Instagram post, fellow comedian Dane Cook wrote, “I performed with Anthony during our early years in Boston at the Faneuil Hall Comedy Connection. He was one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. Destroyed to a point he made you wanna quit right then and there while watching him do it effortlessly.”
A graduate of Emerson College, Clark got his start as a stand-up comic before making the move to television. After starring on the short-lived sitcoms Boston Common and Soul Man, he found more sustained success on Yes, Dear, which ran for six seasons, from 2000 to 2006.
His big-screen credits included Dogfight, The Thing Called Love, The Rock, and Paid in Full.
Former manager Barry Katz told Entertainment Weekly that Clark was “one of the funniest and most talented comedian/actors I have ever had the pleasure of watching.” He added, “It was an honor to represent him and he will be missed for the joy, happiness, and love he brought to everyone he worked with and the audiences that were blessed to see his undeniable performances.”
