I watched him on the show from the start and always thought he was such a classy actor. I missed him when he left the show and retired in 2004.

October 23, 2019 at 8:23 pm #56327 TopazParticipant I recall reading that his doctor advised him to retire from acting in 2004 due to health problems and the strain of working. Back in 2007, John Clarke suffered a stroke and his heath had been declining in the years since his health crisis.
