Dick Van Dyke, 97, returns to acting as guest star on ‘Days of Our Lives’

Legendary comedian Dick Van Dyke, aged 97, is making a surprising return to acting with a role on the soap opera “Days of Our Lives.” In this upcoming appearance, he will portray an elderly man struggling with amnesia, a departure from his usual comedic roles.

During an interview with Access Hollywood, Van Dyke revealed his excitement about playing his 97-year-old self, marking a unique challenge in his extensive career.

The opportunity came about when Van Dyke jokingly teased Drake Hogestyn, who plays John Black on the soap opera, about the lack of roles for older actors at their shared gym. To his surprise, Hogestyn offered him a part.

Van Dyke extensively researched the show’s history, watching numerous episodes spanning its 58 seasons. He also sought advice from industry friends with soap opera experience, including a message from Carol Burnett emphasizing the importance of mastering lines due to the lack of retakes.

Making his soap opera debut in the fall, Van Dyke’s willingness to embrace diverse roles continues to inspire admiration among fans, adding a fresh dimension to his storied career. Audiences eagerly anticipate his appearance on “Days of Our Lives.”
