context_page_description: Blake Clark is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and voice actor, best known as Chet Hunter on Boy Meets World and Harry "the Hardware Store Guy" on Home Improvement. Clark has voiced Slinky Dog in the Toy Story franchise starting with 2010's Toy Story 3, having inherited the role from his close friend Jim Varney, who died of lung cancer in 2000.
context_section_description: Clark is married to his wife Sharon. Together, they have two sons, one of whom, Travis Clark, is also a comedian.
  During his time in the army, Clark was also a member of the 101st Airborne Division known as the "Screaming Eagles."
  He was a close friend of Jim Varney. 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."
