Dick Van Dyke, 98, appears in family photo spanning three generations with famous son and grandson

Dick Van Dyke has a family full of talent, and the Disney legend’s children and grandchildren continue his decades-long legacy in the world of entertainment.

The 98-year-old screen and stage icon welcomed four children with his first wife Margie Willett, Christian, Barry, Stacy and Carrie Beth, all of whom have appeared on screen with their father.

However, no one has followed in his footsteps like Barry, now 73, who starred with Dick in Diagnosis: Murder from 1993-2001. Since 1974 he has been married to Mary Carey and they share four children.

In a photo from last year that was recently shared on Dick’s social media page, it’s clear to see how much the genes have been passed down through the generations as the actor poses with his younger son plus his grandson Wes.

Wes, 40, is the second youngest of Barry and Mary’s childrenwith the couple also parents to sons Carey and Shane and daughter Taryn. Wes is also an actor, but has now entered a career in art.

“Three generations of incredible artists,” was the caption of the photo that captured the three men at Wes’ art show at Malibu City Hall last yearwith the proud father and grandfather wearing a suit to support his family.

Fans responded with adoring comments such as: “Such a beautiful picture of generations of talent!! Also, still watch Diagnosis: Murder!!” and: “Beautiful photo and family.. truly blessed,” as well as: “All I see is a sequel to a murder… nice to see Barry!”

In an interview with Los Angeles Times when the show premiered three decades ago, Barry couldn’t help but fawn over working with his famous father, who was already a Hollywood veteran by then.

“I would work with him anytime,” he said, calling him “the best to work with, very creative. He has a lot of integrity and he will work no matter what, including physical discomfort. He was a great example. We always talked about working together.”

Speaking about their on-screen dynamic, which involves them playing a father-son duo again, he added, “It’s an easy role for me to fall into.”

“My dad pretty much plays himself. You see the real him. All that warmth and humanity really comes across. So I tend to play myself. So their relationship is pretty much ours.”

“He wanted me to have my childhood,” Barry added of growing up sequestered from Hollywood while also making cameos on his father’s variety show. “He told me if I still wanted to perform after I graduated from high school, it would be okay.”

Barry explained that his father was never much of a showbiz type. “My dad didn’t travel in those circles. We were aware he was on TV and watched the show and knew it was successful, but we didn’t socialize with a lot of show business types.”

However, he was well aware that making his own name in the industry could not be solely dependent on Dick’s name. “There’s too much at stake for producers and casting directors to get you in on just a name. You either perform or you don’t. You work or you don’t.”
