For the last 30 or so years, Clark has been doing stand-up comedy on
the club circuit, on "The Tonight Show", on HBO comedy specials, on
Late Night with Conan O'Brien (1993).
In addition, he has been in over 50 feature motion pictures and
hundreds of episodic TV shows. A decorated Infantry Platoon Leader in
Vietnam, Clark brought the plight of the Vietnam Veteran to the people
of America in a humorous way in the 1980s and was "adopted" by numerous
Veteran Organizations throughout the United States. Having moved from
his home state of Georgia to Hollywood, Clark soon landed his first
The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962)
and soon, thereafter, was cast in his first of many recurring roles on
television as "Fred the Chauffeur" on
Remington Steele (1982).
Since then, he has been "Harry" on
Hör' mal, wer da hämmert (1991),
"Jules Lambermont" on
Die Drew Carey Show (1995),
"Chet Hunter" on
Das leben und ich (1993) and
"Bob Nelson" on
Der Hotelboy (1996).
But Clark is perhaps best known as "Farmer Fran" in
Waterboy - Der Typ mit dem Wasserschaden (1998). And he recently
received critical acclaim as "Marlin Whitmore" in
50 erste Dates (2004). He has
traveled the world doing comedy and recently went to Iraq for an
extended USO Tour with Drew Carey. Clark is a
warm, smart, funny and innovative social commentator and a man of all
seasons with a quiet patriotism that he lives as well as portrays. His
comedy runs the gamut from observation on the current military conflict
to his Southern root in Georgia.
