Boston Common and Yes, Dear star Anthony Clark died on Tuesday, Nov. 10. He was 62.

Clark’s Yes, Dear costar Mike O’Malley announced Clark’s death on social media on Wednesday, Nov. 11, sharing behind-the-scenes photos from filming the hit CBS show in the early aughts.

“Anthony Clark died yesterday,” O’Malley’s post began. “He was a hilarious guy. 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.”

The Glee alum added that Clark “was so unique—one of those comics who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations.”

“I was a fan before I was a friend,” O’Malley, 60, continued before reflecting on one of his final conversations with Clark. “We spoke on the phone three weeks ago. He had us laughing loudly once again. Attached are some snapshots from our last episode of ‘Yes Dear’ which ended twenty years ago after 122 episodes. Rest in peace. Tony.”

Clark’s manager, Barry Katz, who represented the actor during his decades-long career, tells PEOPLE that Clark’s “undeniable joy, happiness, and love were contagious to all he worked with. As much as the comedy community will miss him … so will the world even more.”

Originally from Virginia, Clark initially made a name for himself in entertainment during his college years at Emerson College in Boston. After a string of guest roles on television throughout the early 90s, Clark scored his first leading role in fellow Emerson alum Max Mutchnick’s Boston Common, which ran on NBC from 1996 to 1997.

Clark went on to star in Soul Man from 1997 to 1998, before appearing in films Murder She Purred: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery (1998), Killing Cinderella (2000), and more.

In 2000, he landed the role of Gregory Thomas “Greg” Warner in Yes, Dear. The show followed film industry tycoon Greg and his wife Kim (Jean Louisa Kelly) as they navigated their different parenting styles when Kim’s sister and brother-in-law (Liza Snyder and O’Malley, respectively) moved into their guest house.

Yes, Dear went on to earn Betty White an Emmy nomination for a 2003 guest appearance.

Following his time on the show, Clark hosted season 4 of Last Comic Standing in 2006.
