Dick van Dyke was a huge proponent of the Amiga.  I read somewhere that he even created an effect in Lightwave of a motorcycle explosion for a TV show he was acting in (when the in house effects company couldn't do it due to budgetary contraints).

Hardcore! Well, his Amiga-dealings-with have been added to his Wikipedia page :-)


If this is what you added to Wikipedia (quote from Wiki site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_van_dyke):

[color=0000ff]One of Van Dyke's modern passions is producing 3D computer graphics. He created many of the 3D rendered effects shown in Diagnosis: Murder, and continues to work with LightWave 3D.[/color]

...then I have to disagree with the second sentence.  He created ONE small effect for one episode as far as we know.  I've edited it.
