Dick Van Dyke, Dick Van Dyke

From 1993 to 2001 Dick portrayed Dr. Mark Sloan in the long running television series Diagnosis Murder , a medical/crime drama; son Barry co-starred. A 2004 special, The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited , was heavily promoted as the first new episode of the classic series to be shown in 38 years. Dick and his surviving cast members recreated their roles; the program was roundly panned by critics.

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 bank's elderly chairman, credited in that role as "Nackvid Keyd" (at the end of the credits, the letters unscramble into "Dick Van Dyke"). Van Dyke's attempt at a cockney accent was cited as one of the worst film accents in a 2003 poll by movie magazine Empire.

This interest is referred to in the 2004 TV movie The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited , which shows that Rob Petrie has also become a CGI hobbyist. For a long time he used an Amiga 4000 with a Video Toaster for creating his CG work.
