Actor

The Resume

    (December 13, 1925- )
    Acted in 'Bye Bye Birdie (1963),' 'Mary Poppins (1964),' 'Divorce American Style (1967),' and 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)'
    Portrayed Rob Petrie on 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' and Dr. Mark Sloan on 'Diagnosis Murder'

Why he might be annoying:

    He claims that his role in 'Mary Poppins (1964)' is his most memorable.
    He and his now ex-wife got married on a radio program because the show paid for the wedding rings and honeymoon.
    He was turned down several times while trying to enlist in the Army Air Corps during World War Two, because he was underweight.
    He had a total of 3 TV shows named after himself.
    His name is oxymoron slang for 'Penis of the Lesbian.'
    Many Brits say his Cockney accent was far from authentic.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is ambidextrous.
    He did a convincing Cockney accent (at least for Americans) in 'Mary Poppins (1964),' despite being from Missouri.
    He beat out Johnny Carson for the role of Rob Petrie on what eventually became 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.'
    He's won a Tony and a Grammy, along with several Emmys.
    His comic inspiration was Stan Laurel, whom he later became friends with.
