His former castmate Mike O’Malley penned an emotional message to the late comedian on Instagram, describing him as a "hilarious guy."
O’Malley wrote: "When my wife Lisa and I were dating back in the mid-nineties, Anthony was already famous in Boston, regularly selling out comedy shows.
"The first time we saw him at The Comedy Connection we laughed and laughed and laughed.
"He was 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.
'We Spoke On The Phone 3 Weeks Ago'
O’Malley had only recently been in touch with Clark.
"I was a fan before I was a friend. We spoke on the phone three weeks ago. He had us laughing loudly as he always did."
O'Malley said Anthony "essentially retired" after wrapping the final episode of Yes, Dear, having "invested his money well."
Clark's longtime manager Barry Katz said in a statement: "I've known Anthony since his first performances and acting jobs and I was honored to represent him.
"He brought joy, happiness, and unconditional love to everyone he worked with. The world will miss him."
