Actor and comedian Anthony Clark died on Tuesday at the age of 62. Audiences knew him best from six seasons of the CBS sitcom "Yes, Dear," where he starred alongside Mike O'Malley and other actors.
O'Malley announced the news on social media. He called Clark an incredibly funny person and shared a personal memory of working together. The post quickly drew the attention of colleagues and fans of the series, who remembered Clark as one of their favorite performers in comedic roles.
Clark began his career as a stand-up comedian. The stage was his first school of humor, and over time it helped him move into television. His role on "Yes, Dear" made him a recognizable face for sitcom audiences, and the part became one of the most well-known in his body of work.
According to Deadline, the cause of death was complications related to pneumonia. Clark's family has not confirmed this information, so no official details about the cause of death are available yet. Variety and TVLine also reported the actor's death.
On the same Tuesday, November 10, another well-known actress, Irma P. Hall, died in Dallas at the age of 91. Her family announced her death but did not disclose the cause. Hall is best remembered for her role as Big Mama Joe in the 1997 film "Soul Food" and for her role as the conjure woman Minerva in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." Her death is not related to Clark's death.
