    Now he actually looks like the old man he played in Mary Poppins. ☺

    The 98-year-old actor has been nominated for his guest turn on Days of Our Lives, on which he played an elderly man with amnesia.

    “I have played old men before, but ‘comedy old men,’” Van Dyke said of the role last year. “This is the first time I ever just played my 97-year-old self.”

    Dick Van Dyke is great. I used to watch him all the time on The Dick Van Dyke Show

    Saw him speak at a Bernie Sanders rally once. He opened “I am what remains of Dick Van Dyke…”

    Good for him! I liked him in Mary Poppins, his original show (the little of it I’ve seen), and his Scrubs guest spot. He seems like a nice, old man.

        I literally thought this post was about his death until scrolling to your comment, which is at the bottom of the page.

        Incredible how seeing a famous name with “xx years old” makes my brain just throw context out the window outright
