Personal life

Clark was a close friend of Jim Varney (who is best known for playing Ernest); until his death in February 2000. When Toy Story 3 was still in production, Pixar, upon finding out that Jim Varney had died, searched frantically for someone who sounded like Varney and were very lucky to find Clark, who "had the spirit of Slinky" (meaning that he sounds like Slinky's previous voice actor).

During his time in the army, Clark was also a member of the 101st Airborne division known as the "Screaming Eagles."
