Life and career
Clark was born in Chicago, Illinois, and is the younger brother of Degrassi: Daniel Clark, the Next Generation actor. Suzanne, Suzanne's mother, and her two sons moved to Boca Raton, Florida, in 1988. The whole family moved to Canada, near Toronto, when she remarried in 1991. Clark performed with the Belfountain Singers (based in Caledon, Ontario), and appeared at numerous live concerts, both with the band and alone. The Singers appeared at the 1997 Winter Special Olympics, as well as on the national talk show Open Mike with Mike Bullard. Clark (and his brother, Daniel) attended Randolph School for the Performing Arts, and they successfully completed the school's Kids Triple-Threat Musical Theatre Program.
In a television commercial for Honey Comb cereal, Clark's first professional acting role was opposite hockey player Wayne Gretzky. He used his previous acting experience in auditions for stage shows such as Lyla Rules (1998) and Beauty and the Beast, but he gave up to his brother in the former. He went on to clinch a recurring role in the television series I Was a Sixth Grade Alien (also starring his brother), Real Kids, Real Adventures, and Twice in a Lifetime.
Clark's acting career was limited to the small screen, but in Superstar (1999), Clark was Eric Slater (Harland Williams) as an infant. In 1999, he appeared in a couple of television films: Switching Goals (1999) with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, as a Goth, and in All-American Girl: Mary Kay Letourneau (2000) as the son of real-life convicted child rapist Mary Kay Letourneau.
Clark played the younger version of Charlie Sheen's character in Rated X (2000), a fact-based film directed and starring Emilio Estevez; a boy physically abused by his father who would grow up to become an adult film director. Clark was more prominent in the A&E Network's original film The Golden Spiders: A Nero Wolfe Myster, a pilot for the A&E series A Nero Wolfe Mystery, as a street windscreen wiper who donates his life savings of $4.30 to a murder probe. Variety's Steve Oxman praised the show, calling the cast "a magnificent ensemble" and noting that "the performances are more than the sum of their parts."
His first lead role appeared in the science fiction television series The Zack Files (2000), which its designers referred to as "an X-Files for children." Clark and his co-stars were chosen for their acting ability and potential to continue working in the field as adults, but for his efforts Clark received the Young Artist Award for Leading Young Actor in a Drama Series.
The filming schedule for The Zack Files was tense, but Clark found time to be involved in other projects. In Sex, Lies & Obsession (2001), he portrayed a sex addict (Harry Hamlin), and he also appeared in Prancer Returns (2001), which went direct-to-video but was lauded by critic Scott Weinberg, who gave Clark another Young Artist Award.
Clark was cast in Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, a similar television show that was first broadcast in the fall of 2002. Clark's acting debut was well-received; in addition to another Young Artist nomination, Family Screen Scene called the show as a whole, "well written and performed." The teens' looks and mannerisms fit their characters, adding to their roles' realism. Clark appeared on Strange Days as the young son of a dead future king whose death is barely escaped in the hands of his power-hungry brother.
Clark played an openly gay teenager recruited by the title character (Kristen Bell) to publicly mock one of her colleagues' (Natalia Baron) in an April 2005 episode. John Ramos of the website Television Without Pity praised Clark's appearance, giving the gay guy more screen time. Clark also appeared in the film drama In Defiance, Ohio, where he was also played one of the ten children of a 1950s housewife (Julianne Moore).
