Bert from Mary Poppins
Bert is one of the main characters in the 1964 Disney film, Mary Poppins. This unforgettable character is portrayed by legendary actor Dick Van Dyke. We meet Bert at the start of the film where he is entertaining a crowd of on-lookers as a one-man band. He addresses the audience directly, taking them on a tour of the fictional Cherry Tree Lane.
We see Bert later in the film working as a street-artist, where he creates chalk drawings on the pavement. Mary takes the Banks children into one of his artworks for an adventure. Bert later appears working as a chimney-sweep, in what is probably the most recognizable version of his character. Towards the end of Mary Poppins, he is selling kites and says his final farewell to Mary when her work with the Banks children is complete. Throughout the film, it is clear that he is one of Mary Poppins’ closest friends, and is completely at ease with her magical abilities.
