Have you ever heard of the actor Dick Van Dyke before I posted this question?

Question

He will be turning 99 in 2024. He has definitely lived longer than a lot of other celebrities and ordinary people. He is not as popular now compared to the 1960s though.

Lliam · Accepted Answer

Sure. He was a great comedic actor.

I used to watch the Dick Van Dyke show. Mary Tyler Moore played his wife. I was a great show with a great cast.

He co-starred with Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins.
He was in lots of other movies, too.

AviatorTom · Accepted Answer

Yes, he had his own TV show long time ago with Mary Tyler Moore, is maybe best known for his role in Mary Poppins movie as the chimney sweep, and he has appeared in many other TV shows during his life.

BCA6010 · Answer

Yep. One of the most famous American entertainers and actors of his time. I had both Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on VHS as a kid, and I recall the Dick Van Dyke show playing reruns on the TVLand channel too. I've probably seen him in other stuff as well and just forgotten about them.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Of course. Who hasn't seen Mary Poppins? I'm waiting for Disney's "live-action remake" of THAT, where the cartoons are real and the real people are animated.

As for me I have heard of Dick Van Dyke & his show is on all the time & I have binged watched it as well. Great show, great actor & more. As for me I’ll always know him from the movie Mary Poppins.

He has an amazing body of work. He had a classic TV show in the 60s, was in famous movies like Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, when he got older he had his own show called Diagnosis Murder. If I m not mistaken he is still doing voice overs. I guess he used to be a big boozer so it is amazing he lived so long.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

Yeah. When I was a kid, they would play reruns of his show everyday. I never watched it, but I would see it on the TV guide. My cousin from Poland was visiting and I would always mess with him because for "The Dick Van Dyke Show", the Tv guide could only fit the first two words, so I would ask my cousin if he wants to watch, "The Dick" LOL

MrOracle · Answer

Of course. Mary Poppens, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and of course the Dick Van Dyke show. Hell, my beard style is named after him (the Van Dyke).

He's still funny as hell, and Chim-Chimeny is still one of the best Disney songs.
