Clark is a fanatic animal lover, pet owner and actor living in NYC. He has been interested in animals and animal behavior since childhood, when he would disappear in department stores in Virginia Beach and stare at the aquariums for hours.
Clark's first dog at age five was a Chihuahua, and his passion for canines never waned. Having owned several different breeds over the years, from a cute Cocker Spaniel to a commanding Rhodesian Ridgeback, he has gained abundant knowledge through reading and experience.
Today Clark is co-owner of Urban Dog's mascot Bodhi with Sean. He is also a self-confessed Animal Planet / "Nat Geo" addict who stays up till all hours feeding his animal "habit." Professionally, Clark himself has appeared on TV on Nickelodeon, plus acted in numerous Off-Broadway plays and highly-regarded regional theaters. His other favorite thing in life besides animals is world travel.
