I met Dick Van Dyke at a hotel in Hot Springs, Arkansas. He was by far the nicest actor I have met. He allowed us to take pictures with him and my daughters. The best part, he had a bowl of Capt'n Crunch on his table from the breakfast buffet. He also had a book with him and I was a bit disappointed it wasn't "Moby Dick". Anybody over the age of 35 might understands the reference.
