Biography
American entertainer, stand-up comedian and actor. Clarke decided to be a comedian while he was working as a janitor to put himself through college at University of Massachusetts in Boston. He got his start at Ding-Ho Restaurant in Cambridge, and his comedic abilities eventually came to the attention of Rodney Dangerfield. Dangerfield cast Clarke in "Nothin’ Goes Right," and both comedians worked together on "Meet Wally Sparks." His TV work includes the role of Detective Frank Harrington in "The Job," created by fellow-Bostonian Dennis Leary, Clarke’s own show, "Lenny," which only ran for 18 episodes, "The John Larroquette Show, " and others. He made two unsuccessful political runs, one for office of mayor and again for a seat on city council, both for Cambridge, MA.
