I remember him most from the Dick Van Dyke Show with Mary Tyler Moore in the early ‘60s. Very funny sitcom.

He was the lead character in the Carl Reiner film ‘The Comic’. Well worth watching. A bittersweet look at an aging silent film star, Van Dyke is great, probably his best film.

I still think The Dick Van Dyke Show was one of TV’s best. Even the kid was great. Almost every episode is about marriage. Anyone too young to see the show should watch it on Amazon or Netflix.

Happy Birthday Dick/Rob

He was an old guy when I was watching as a 5 year old. Now I am retired and gray and he is still going strong and you never see him without that smile.

Based on his age, I thought Van Dyke might be a WW II veteran.
And so he was.

Good one and three of those four actors are still alive! Conway passed away in 2019.
