Answer 2

He played the Jack of Alll Trades- and with Magic help- character Bert, who did not appear in the original P.L. Travers novels. among the occupations were musician, street artist- whose graffiti on the pavement become alive.. kite salesman, ( from which we get the song Go Fly a Kite) and Chimney Sweep=- a sneeze away from a garbage collector. evidentally super-charged with energy, none of these jobs seem to wear him down and he is often seen in Minstrel or carnival-barker lilke apparel as I recall.l He is not the husband of Mary Poppins, as some have suggested. they are not married.
