Dick Van Dyke has a family that's chock full of talent, with the Disney legend's children and grandchildren continuing his decades-long legacy in the entertainment world.
The 98-year-old screen and stage icon welcomed four children with his first wife Margie Willett, Christian, Barry, Stacy and Carrie Beth, and all of them have appeared on the screen alongside their dad.
However, none have followed in his footsteps quite like Barry, now 73, who starred alongside 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 shared recently on Dick's social media page, it's clear to see how much the genes have passed down over 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 kids, with the couple also parents to sons Carey and Shane, and daughter Taryn. Wes is also an actor, but has now pivoted into a career in fine art.
"Three generations of incredible artists," the photo was captioned, capturing the three men at Wes' art show at Malibu City Hall last year, with the proud dad and granddad wearing a suit to support his family.
Fans responded with adoring comments like: "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 diagnosis murder sequel… it's nice to see Barry!"
In an interview with the 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'd work with him any time," he said, calling him "the best to work with, very creative. He has a lot of integrity and he'll work no matter what, including physical discomfort. He set a fine example. We've always talked about working together."

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

Barry explained that his father was never much of a showbiz type. "My father 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."
