Cast Of The Baby-Sitters Club: Where Are They Now?

In 1991, we met the Banks family, parents George and Nina and daughter Annie and son Matty. Overprotective father George, had his whole world turned on its head when his precious daughter returns home from studying abroad, and announces her engagement to her new fiancé, Bryan. The story centers around George, his paranoia, frustration, sadness, and ultimately joy as they chaotically merged lives with the MacKenzie family while planning the wedding. All the while George narrates his hilarious thoughts as it goes. The movie became a classic and went onto have an equally popular sequel. So where is the cast of the 90’s classic comedy now?

7. Steve Martin

George Banks, the nervous, over-protective father and protagonist of Father Of The Bride was perfectly portrayed by actor and comedian, Steve Martin. Steve Martin has had a very full career starting in the ’70s and since Father of The Bride he’s continued to star in film and television, while also dabbling in side work like writing. One of his written works, a novella titled Shop Girl, turned into a film in 2005 starring himself and Claire Danes. The movie was well received and made over $11 million in the box office. Steve Martin has long also had a rich musical side, and has released several albums, even winning multiple Grammy Awards. In 2001, 2003 and 2010, Steve Martin had the honor of hosting the Oscars. Currently, he is working on film called Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk alongside stars like Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Garrett Hedlund and Vin Diesel.
