Richard Wayne Van Dyke (born December 13, 1925 in West Plains, Missouri), is an American television and movie actor. He is best known for his starring roles on The Dick Van Dyke Show in the 1960s and Diagnosis: Murder as Dr. Mark Sloan in the 1990s.
Van Dyke began his film career by reprising his stage role in the film version of Bye Bye Birdie in 1963. Although Van Dyke was unhappy with the adaptation because the focus was shifted to Ann-Margret's character, the film was a major success. He followed that up with Walt Disney's Mary Poppins in 1964, in which he played Bert, a Cockney chimney sweep, and also, in heavy disguise, the elderly owner of the bank. His attempt at a Cockney accent (and his tendency to lapse into and out of it) was widely ridiculed (especially in the UK). But the film was very popular and innovative and also showed his versatility as a singer and dancer. One of his showcase songs, "Chim Chim Cheree", won the Oscar for the Sherman Brothers, the film's songwriting team.

Van Dyke made several more comedy movies throughout the 1960s including What a Way to Go! with Shirley MacLaine, Lt. Robin Crusoe, USN with Nancy Kwan, Fitzwilly with Barbara Feldon, The Art of Love with James Garner and Elke Sommer, Never A Dull Moment with Edward G. Robinson, and Divorce American Style with Debbie Reynolds and Jason Robards, Jr.. Although most of his movies from this era were relatively unsuccessful, the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was a worldwide success and is still fondly remembered today.
