Anthony Clark's Popular Role in Yes, Dear
Anthony Clark became widely recognised for playing Gregory Thomas Greg Warner in the CBS television comedy series Yes, Dear.

The series followed the everyday experiences of two couples living together under one roof. Greg and his wife Kim Warner faced the challenges of family life when Kim's sister Christine and her husband Jimmy moved into their guest house with their children.
The comedy explored differences in parenting styles, family relationships, household responsibilities and the challenges of sharing living space.
