Retired comic actor Dick Van Dyke has found a high-tech outlet for his talent.
"I'm a computer animator. I'm a real nerd," the 78-year-old Van Dyke told the Associated Press in an interview to promote the DVD release of the 1968 musical fantasy "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
"I do special effects, animation and everything on computer graphics — and I'm pretty good. I haven't ever put anything out professionally, but it's an absolutely addictive hobby."
And he's always on the lookout for amateur special-effects experts.

"I'm always looking for somebody, a kind of a fellow nerd, but I can't find anybody," he said.
