Dick Van Dyke was a popular song-and-dance man in 1960s movies like Mary Poppins (1964), Lt. Robin Crusoe, USN (1966, with Nancy Kwan) and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968). On TV he's best known as the star of the much-loved 1960s sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show (in which Mary Tyler Moore played his wife). Van Dyke has starred in several other TV series, including the 1990s forensic adventure Diagnosis Murder (co-starring Scott Baio).

For many years Dick van Dyke's performance in 'Mary Poppins' was widely regarded as the worst accent ever seen in films, however in a poll a few years ago it came in second to Sean Connery in 'The Untouchables'.

He's from a very special part of London where all the chimney sweeps live. The native's catchphrase is 'wotcha Mary Poppins'!

Not sure. His accent moves around a bit! It's probably near to that part of London that all American actors are from... foreign actors doing English accents are always either toffs or cockney scamps, after all!
