I'll wait until tommorow to congratulate him. I wouldn't want to jinx it for him by calling it too early.

His appearance as the Cockney Chimney Sweep Bert in Mary Poppins will forever live on as the worst piece of Hollywood casting ever.

"If someone from the UK sees me, they're on me like a pack of wolves. It was the worst cockney accent ever done."
~ Dick van Dyke
Disney chose him for his many other skills, particularly dance and timing, and had little concern their target audience, kids, would judge the accuracy of his cockney accent.

He's been really hopeful he'd make it to 100. I'm happy for him.

Dick Van Dyke says on growing old and emphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive outlook and avoiding anger and hate. Happy 100th birthday Mr. Van Dyke.
