"It&amp;#039;s currently being reported that  Steve Martin will be reprising his role as cynical businessman George Banks in Father of the Bride 3.   Martin is tipped to return alongside Diane Keaton as wife Nina Banks in the comedy, which will see the couple&amp;#039;s son Matty revealing his plans to marry the son of a US Navy Seal. 1991&amp;#039;s Father of the Bride was based on the 1950 movie of the same, while 1995&amp;#039;s sequel was loosely based on 1951&amp;#039;s Father&amp;#039;s Little Dividend. As we anticipate a potential Part III, catch up on the major stars&amp;#039; exploits since - and compare how they looked then and now: Steve Martin   Steve Martin - already an established Hollywood name before Father of the Bride - plays hapless patriarch George Banks, who suffers a series of ridiculous misfortunes (and a mild breakdown - the too-plentiful pack of hotdogs springs to mind) after his daughter announces that she&amp;#039;s getting married. Despite George&amp;#039;s cynicism and reluctance to let his daughter go and grow up, he has her best interests at heart. Since the original movie and its 1995 sequel, Martin has continued to star in a string of comedies including Sgt. Bilko (1996), Bowfinger (1999) with Eddie Murphy, Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) and its 2005 follow-up. In 2005, Martin&amp;#039;s novella Shopgirl was adapted into a movie, which saw him feature as the lead in a love triangle between Claire Danes and Jason Schwartzman. He went on to appear in The Pink Panther (2006 and 2009) remakes as Inspector Jacques Clouseau, and featured as Meryl Streep&amp;#039;s love interest in romantic It&amp;#039;s Complicated, also released in 2009. Martin - who has hosted the Oscars on three occasions, including a joint appearance with Alec Baldwin in 2010 - will voice Captain Smek in the upcoming DreamWorks animation Home. Diane Keaton   Diane Keaton plays calm and encouraging mother Nina Banks, intent on giving her daughter the perfect wedding day. Loyally standing by husband George, she helps him out of his often (side-splitting and self-inflicting) predicaments.  Keaton - also already an established star thanks to roles such as her Oscar-winning performance in Annie Hall - went on to feature in The First Wives Club (1996) along with Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler. She picked up her fourth Oscar nomination for her role in 2003&amp;#039;s Something&amp;#039;s Gotta Give (for which she also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical).  The actress also features as the matriarch in romantic drama The Family Stone (2005) with Sarah Jessica Parker and Claire Danes, and in the supporting cast of comedy Morning Glory (2010). Keaton&amp;#039;s latest movie And So It Goes - in which she stars opposite Michael Douglas - is due out in July, and she will lend her voice to Finding Nemo sequel Finding Dory. Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Annie Banks   Kimberly Williams-Paisley plays young impressionable bride Annie Banks, who&amp;#039;s head-over-heels in love with fianc\u00C3\u00A9 Bryan MacKenzie.  The actress and charity campaigner returned for the film&amp;#039;s sequel before going on to star in TV drama Relativity between 1996 and 1997, and appeared alongside Dianne Wiest and Ed O&amp;#039;Neill in critically-acclaimed fantasy miniseries The 10th Kingdom. Williams-Paisley starred opposite Jim Belushi and Courtney Thorne-Smith in long-running ABC sitcom According to Jim between 2001 and 2009, and returned to the network in 2012 with the cast of musical drama Nashville.

Williams-Paisley - now aged 41 - currently has a recurring role in CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men as a love interest for Alan Harper (Jon Cryer).  George Newbern as Bryan MacKenzie   George Newbern played upper-class and slightly sycophantic Bryan MacKenzie, who hails from wealthy Bel Air. Following the first and second films, Newbern played Dr Scott Frank in CBS medical drama Chicago Hope, and provided the voice of Superman/Clark Kent in Cartoon Network&amp;#039;s Justice League, reprising the role in The Batman for The WB.  He also made a guest appearance in the fifth season of Friends as Danny, a short-lived love interest for Rachel, and has TV credits including CSI: Miami, Boston Legal, Grey&amp;#039;s Anatomy and Nip/Tuck. Newbern, now aged 49, currently stars in ABC&amp;#039;s political thriller Scandal with Kerry Washington. Kieran Culkin as Matty Banks   Kieran Culkin played cute yet quick-witted 8-year-old Matty Banks in Father of the Bride, reprising the role again in Part II. Culkin - the younger brother of Macaulay - went on to star in movies such as She&amp;#039;s All That and Lasse Hallstr\u00C3\u00B6m&amp;#039;s The Cider House Rules. He took the lead in indie drama Igby Goes Down (2002) with Jeff Goldblum, Claire Danes and Ryan Phillippe - earning a Golden Globe nomination for the role. He also starred as the camp and brilliantly funny Wallace Wells in Edgar Wright&amp;#039;s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010). Culkin, now aged 31, has just completed filming Noah Pritzker&amp;#039;s Quitters with Saffron Burrows and Mira Sorvino. Martin Short   Former Saturday Night Live regular Martin Short starred as the relentless and ridiculously over-the-top eccentric European wedding designer Franck Eggelhoffer. The 64-year-old actor has had continued appearances on SNL, and starred as Press Secretary Jerry Ross in 1996 movie Mars Attacks! In 1999, he won a Tony Award for the Broadway revival of Little Me, and has appeared in numerous TV specials, a self-titled sitcom and hosted a syndicated talkshow. Short played Leonard Winstone in FX&amp;#039;s gripping legal thriller Damages with Glenn Close and Rose Byrne, and lent his voice to Tim Burton&amp;#039;s Frankenweenie (2012). His further TV credits include roles in Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, How I Met Your Mother and Weeds. Short has just finished filming Paul Thomas Anderson&amp;#039;s latest offering Inherent Vice with Reese Witherspoon, Josh Brolin, and Joaquin Phoenix.

BD Wong as Howard Weinstein   Already a Tony and Drama Desk award winner upon appearing in Father of the Bride, BD Wong starred as Franck Eggelhoffer&amp;#039;s eager (and at times, acid-tongued) assistant Howard Weinstein. Wong appeared in Jurassic Park in 1992, Brad Pitt&amp;#039;s Seven Years in Tibet in 1997, and provided the voice of Li Shang in Disney&amp;#039;s Mulan and its direct-to-video sequel Mulan II. He has also played Dr George Huang in NBC&amp;#039;s Law &amp;amp; Order: Special Victims Unit since 2001, and featured as prison chaplain Father Ray Mukada in HBO drama Oz. It was recently confirmed that Wong, now aged 53, will be the only original Jurassic Park cast member to return in the fourth film Jurassic World, reprising his role as Dr Henry Wu.
