PHOTO CALL: Dick Van Dyke Makes Cameo in Mary Poppins Tour

The legendary actor, who played the role of Bert in the film, also appeared in the movie in the smaller role of bank president Mr. Dawes. The character is not normally part of the stage production, but he was written into a pivotal Act 2 scene specifically for Van Dyke's appearance.

The touring cast stars original Broadway leads Ashley Brown and Gavin Lee.

Here is a look at Van Dyke during his daytime rehearsal and evening performance at the Ahmanson Theatre:
