Blake Clark is a veteran of the Vietnam War, 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."

Blake 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. 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. 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.

Blake is a very funny guy and still to date, has the longest applause break as a comic on the Tonight Show. (Johnny Carson era)
