According to Disney’s announcement this morning, Van Dyke will be playing Mr. Dawes Jr., the chairman of Fidelity Fiduciary Bank.
However, he also plays a small role as Mr. Dawes Sr. the chairman of the bank where Jane and Michael’s father works.
However, if you haven’t seen Mary Poppins in a long time, you may have forgotten, or not even realized, that Dick Van Dyke actually plays two roles in the film.
It’s a small role that only has a couple of scenes and Van Dyke is covered in false hair and makeup to make him appear incredibly old.
