Looks like my intuition was right. He DOES play two people in this. I can suss out disguises a mile off xD
-
I just finished reading his autobiography. He asked Disney if he could play both parts, and the rest is history....

@MrWilliamtom, Yes, singing Barbershop will do that to you.
Mr. Van Dyke was named an honorary member of the Barbershop Harmony Society back in 1999. In September of 2000, he formed his own real-life quartet, The Vantastix (vis on YouTube). He appeared on the cover of the Barbershop Harmony Society’s bimonthly magazine, The Harmonizer.
Ten years later, he appeared on the cover again, with his decade-earlier cover shown as a corner inset. He actually looked YOUNGER on the NEWER cover!

The real Dick Van Dyke looks like he's in a hell of a lot better shape at 85.
They really made him up to be an old man.

This is unlikely to be an "audition." It appears to be more a "makeup test." Which is why sound isn't important, and he turns around... to show how the makeup looks.

It WAS an audition. He offered to do the part, but Walt Disney wanted to see if he could pull it off. So this was the proof to Disney that he could do it. In addition to this though, Walt also made Van Dyke give a donation to Cal Arts, which Walt was founding.
Van Dyke was so good, and so into character, that the children didn't know the old man was him until the film's premiere.
