Emmy winner Martin Short became an "SNL" fan-favorite for his portrayal of characters such as Ed Grimley, lawyer Nathan Thurm and "legendary songwriter" Irving Cohen. He made his debut in "Three Amigos" and followed with "Innerspace," "Three Fugitives," "Clifford," "Pure Luck" and "Tim Burton's Mars Attacks." One of Short's most memorable roles was in the remake of "Father of the Bride" as Franck the wedding planner, a role he reprised a few years later in "Father of the Bride Part II." Short lent his voice to the animated film "Madagascar 3" and Tim Burton's Oscar-nominated "Frankenweenie."

An accomplished stage actor, Short won a Tony, Theatre World Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award for his role in the revival of LITTLE ME. He was also nominated for a Tony and took home an Outer Critics Circle Award for the musical version of Neil Simon's THE GOODBYE GIRL. Short co-wrote and starred in FAME BECOMES ME. He most recently appeared on Broadway in Terrence McNally's IT'S ONLY A PLAY.
