Short’s slightly eccentric character, Franck Egggelhoffer, of Father of the Bride II, had an accent that was so wide, movie-goers wouldn’t recognize where he’s initially from.

Thanks to his improv experience, Short portrayed the character in a variety of ways with director Charles Shyer going with the one that was seen in the movie.

Martin Scorsese next’s project for Netflix features Short and all of his improv pals from back in the day.
