Lenny Clarke
Mace O'Neil on It's All Relative

Lenny Clarke was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, one of eight children. He decided to pursue standup comedy one night when he was working as a janitor, putting himself through college at University of Massachusetts/Boston. That night he went to the Ding-Ho Restaurant in Cambridge and saw some comics performing. Convinced he could do the same thing, he returned the next week and -- "The rest, as they say, is history!," he exclaims.

Clarke spent several years as the regular host of open-mike nights there and has since traveled the world as a standup. His gifted comedic abilities captured the attention of the legendary Rodney Dangerfield who gave Clarke his first big break on TV, casting him on the HBO special, "Nothin' Goes Right," in 1988. He and Dangerfield also worked together years later on "Meet Wally Sparks."

After years of hard work, Clarke was "discovered" at the Montreal Comedy Festival. CBS gave him his own TV series, the eponymous "Lenny," which ran for 18 episodes. His other TV work includes four-plus years on "The John Larroquette Show," as Officer Adam Hampton, ABC's "The Job," with Denis Leary, hosting "The Sunday Comics" and guest appearances on "Touched by an Angel, "Love Boat: The Next Wave," and numerous appearances on Comedy Central.

Clarke's feature films include the forthcoming "Stuck on You" with Matt Damon, the recently released "Just Another Story," "Moonlight Mile" with Dustin Hoffman, "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" "Me, Myself and Irene," "Rounders," "There's Something About Mary," "Two if by Sea," "Southie," "Massholes" and the independent film "Bluff."

There are numerous charities that are close to Clarke's heart. Prompted by his sister's battle with MS, he works for several charities related to that cause, as well as for the Genesis Fund, which helps to prevent and treat birth defects.

He resides in Boston. PERSONAL INFORMATION
HOMETOWN: Cambridge, MA
