The 98-year-old actor has been nominated for his guest turn on Days of Our Lives, on which he played an elderly man with amnesia.

"I have played old men before, but 'comedy old men,'" Van Dyke said of the role last year. "This is the first time I ever just played my 97-year-old self."

Dick Van Dyke is great. I used to watch him all the time on The Dick Van Dyke Show

It's such a great show. Been ages since I've watched it so I'm sure it'd be like new all over again

Good for him! I liked him in Mary Poppins, his original show (the little of it I've seen), and his Scrubs guest spot. He seems like a nice, old man.
