Dick Van Dyke - Archive Interview Part 1 of 6

[wondermusic63]

Fascinating person. Great personality and sense of humor too. Those are the people I find interesting. They have a story to tell and remain simple and unaffected.

[clkhp]

@cheeriosinabowl...Mary did have Dick Van Dyke on her show, her variety show, after the MTM show ended. They did a skit about being Rob and Laura in their later years and they did a song and dance number together too.



[RosieElliott]

OMG I LOVE HIS VOICE I CAN HEAR CARACTACUS POTTS IN CHITTY BANG BANG AND BERT FROM MARY POPPINS XD XD OMG IM GONNA MISS SEEING HIM BUT IM ALWAYS GONNA HEAR HIM IN MY HEART

LUVE YOU ALWAYS DICK VAN DYKE <3 <3 <3 XXXXX

[bodyboystance2]

XD

[ironman711]

Without DVD, we wouldn't have Jim Carey....

[originalmatchgame]

Thank you , I actually discovered this by accident , and am I ever glad I did . Dick has been my idol since I was 6 , and that was 50 years , ago .

[cheeriosinabowl]

Dick's career went for a nosedive and stayed there after the Dick Van Dyke Show ended.

He only got bits and pieces after that -- it's strange Mary Tyler Moore didn't at least guest-star him on her own show MTM show in the 1970's. Dick's career was floundering badly.

[YourFaceWillDie468]

@RichardElden Well, unless you're just trying to rile me up, that's your opinion, and I have my own. What I meant was that though he's 85 now, he still looks at least 10 years younger. It appears he's hardly aged in 13 years. Check out some recent pictures of him. If you still don't see what I mean, you're either blind or obnoxious.

[valbradley]

I watched him as a child on The Dick Van Dyke Show. he is 2 years older than my dad. But I must say Dick your as cute now as you were on your show. I will always love you. I watch all of your old shows still. So handsome..... God Bless you and may you have many more years in life..... :)

[YourFaceWillDie396]

@RichardElden Is that you ever talk about? Correct me if I am wrong, but you've done this with Richard Burton, Jeremy Irons, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and countless others. Not ONCE have you ever remarked about their talent, ability, and character. What is your problem? Do you have a smoking problem yourself? Look at this man! He's 85 and he doesn't look and sound a day over 70, and don't you try to deny it. I have a strong feeling no one will agree with you. You and Juan need to go fuck yourselves.

[Juliaflo]

Name another Dutch-American born in Missouri.

[avlisk]

Excellent interview, and excellent interviewer, too. Nice job.

[kittybirg]

D'aww, Dick. <3

Someday, I'd like to shake his hand and tell him how much I enjoy his acting.

[tracytcb111111111111]

i love dick van dyke such a great guy and a great person

[ljs123]

what a legend, but what a terrible interviewer and technique. dick van dyke needs better. talking over responses is not good

[rltuthill]

Dick Van Dyke is a national treasure! So, charming and talented. Truely a classy guy. I'm 53 now and I used to love the Dick Van Dyke show when I was a kid. I've probably seen every episode many times over the years. That show was one of the best sitcoms ever made and still holds up today! He was great in Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Comic etc.

[balletdancer923]

I LOVE him so much!! He is amazing!

[JayFoxFire]

He's a legend, one of the greatest actor ever lived

[shahamel]

@JayFoxFire He is still alive :P

[kitarofan87]

i wonder if today he looks like his older version from mary poppins

[kevinherbert]

At 10 years old, I loved Dick Van Dyke & Mary & Morrie.....

[relii100]

sir dick van wane dike is the best

[wkrp71]

He's an American treasure. I wish he would live forever.

[JuanMacready]

@wkrp71 It's amazing that he's still alive.

[rltuthill]

@JuanMacready Why is it amazing? He's only 84. Ernest Borgnine is still going strong at 93! I think it's down to taking care of yourself and good genes and luck too, I suppose.

[bob27f]

Nicest guy on planet earth.

[EmoShoes93]

He's so wonderful ^^

[timmhg]

I want to be an elder man like him.

[MrAntinet]

@timmhg, give it time, and if you live long enough, you will be. :)

[independentx0x0]

still handsome! 

[klickenpod]

what a cutie!

[4MaryAnna]

He looks great,except for one thing. I don't like the mustashe(?spelling) covering the top lip.

What a talented man!

[StabbingKnifes]

@4MaryAnna Me neither. I think he grew it for his role in Diagnosis Murder, to distinguish himself from his comedic roles.

[JuanMacready]

Van Dyke was good in Chitty but he was terrible in Mary Poppins.

[Scott6263]

@JuanMacready Do you even know what you're saying anymore? You hate both films and DVD even more. Please seek help.

[cintia84carvalho]

we have the same birth date

[Ceci14]

I would love to meet him =] lol I think I've had a crush on him since mary poppins <3

[RentandWicked]

Amazing man!

[jasonglidden1966]

I'm a 43 year old English male, I grew up watching Dick in Mary Poppins, Chitty and right up to Diagnosis murder and night at the museum!

my children all love him too.

I hope he is enjoying his retirement, well deserved, such a lovely man, he has my totally respect and admiration, a real gentleman!!!!

[catholicpriest1]

One of his hobbies is video editing.

[CapraCorn2006]

Hey, Elat100 - you wrote:

"plus Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" ... um, have you ever watched it ? Van Dyke doesn't attempt to do an accent in CCBB . He speaks with his natural speaking voice in that movie.

[PeterFirthFan]

Van Dyke only accepted the lead role in CCBB on the condition that he would not have to attempt an English accent.

[bigdog4400]

What a wonderful man, I know I've enjoyed his work my entire life. Thanks for posting!

[PeterFirthFan]

He didn't attempt an English accent in CCBB.

[bungeejumpspencer]

[edgar110656]

Dick Van Dyke is cool.He is a good example of an actor and a role model.I havent heard of him getting into trouble.People should follow his example.Whoever thinks he isnt cool or dumb are wrong.They should look up to him instead of messed up actors and some messed up famous people today.He has good morals and tries to stay away from negative influences.He has made some great programs and movies.People should give him credit he actually has talent.
