However, fans may remember the duo from the iconic 1991 film, “Father of the Bride." In the film, Martin played the concerned father of the bride, while Short played the German quirky wedding planner.
In an interview with Today, Short and Martin discussed their journey while filming the classic movie. Short even looked back at his role and revealed that the slight change he would make to his character.
“I kept thinking as long as I didn’t wink into the camera and say, ‘Aren’t I funny?’ we’d be fine,” Short said. “I went to a wedding after we stopped shooting ... and it was a big, fancy wedding with a wedding planner. And he had his initials embroidered on his shoes.”
“I thought, ‘We missed that,” he added while he laughed immediately after.
Short and Martin have also spent a lot of time with Selena Gomez, who also stars in the series.

While filming, Gomez taught Martin and Short the meaning of “WAP,” along with a few other saucy lyrics from the Cardi B bop.
During a recent virtual sit down with BBC Radio 1, both Steve and Short were asked to reveal their favorite Gomez song, and while Steve went with the Barney classic “Splish Splash I Was Taking a Bath,” Short offered up an unexpected answer, saying, “I think your cover of W-A-P is one of my favorites." And yes, he spelled out each letter.
Martin was, of course, kidding, but Steve wasn’t when he revealed, “Selena introduced us to that song. To us it was only a rumor, until she said ‘Hey, listen to this.’”
“I was called to set as she was still reading all the lyrics to Steve… he keeps going ‘go back,’” Short added.
