The 78-year-old Van Dyke, who is best known for his recurring role on the 1990s sitcom, "Coach," lives with his wife, Shirley, on a ranch in between Malvern and Benton in central Arkansas. He was inducted last weekend into the Walk of Fame, which honors notable Arkansans in a display of plaques in downtown Hot Springs.
Van Dyke also has a documentary that will be shown at this weekend's Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival. The documentary, "What's Eating Jerry Van Dyke?" is a comic look at Van Dyke's quest to redefine himself as a dramatic actor.
