Writer, director and producer Carl Reiner and TV star Alec Baldwin are to present the Life Achievement Award to Dick Van Dyke at the SAG Awards in Los Angeles. The telecast's executive producer and director Jeff Margolis announced Tuesday the involvement of Reiner and Baldwin in the upcoming ceremony. Van Dyke, 87, is being recognized for his long and storied career, as well as his humanitarian accomplishments.

He helped raise millions for their new building program and is there every Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and times in between offering comfort and cheer, SAG said in a news release.
