    Blake Clark is an American stand-up comedian and actor. He is best known as Chet Hunter on Boy Meets World and Harry "The Hardware Store Guy" on Home Improvement.[1] Clark has voiced Slinky Dog in the Toy Story franchise starting with 2008's Toy Story: The Musical, having inherited the role from his friend Jim Varney, who died of lung cancer in 2000.[1]

    Early life[edit]

    Clark was born and raised in Macon, Georgia.[1] He graduated from LaGrange College in 1969 with a degree in the performing arts.[citation needed]

    Career[edit]

    Clark is a veteran of the Vietnam War,[1] having served as a first lieutenant in the United States Army with the 5th Infantry Division.[2][3] During his time in the army, Clark was also a member of the 101st Airborne Division known as the "Screaming Eagles."[4]

    In 1984 he co-starred in the George Carlin HBO TV show Apt. 2C of which only the pilot episode was ever made.

    He has been cast in numerous Adam Sandler films including The Waterboy, Little Nicky, Mr. Deeds, Eight Crazy Nights, 50 First Dates, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Bedtime Stories, Grown Ups, and That's My Boy.[1] He has also made guest appearances in numerous television series, including Home Improvement, Boy Meets World, The Jamie Foxx Show, The Drew Carey Show, Girl Meets World, and Community. He was also Fred the chauffeur in Remington Steele. Starting with Toy Story 3, Clark has voiced Slinky Dog in the Toy Story franchise, in place of his close friend Jim Varney, Slinky's original voice actor in the first two films, who died of lung cancer on February 10, 2000.[5] When Toy Story 3 was still in production after Varney had died, Pixar searched for someone who sounded like Varney and fortunately found Clark, who "very much captures the essence and spirit of Slinky Dog's character."[6][7]

    Personal life[edit]

    Clark has two sons, one of whom, Travis Clark, is also a comedian.[8]
