Robin Williams memorably played this role as the father of the groom, in The Birdcage, the movie version of La Cage Aux Folles. Local veteran actor Michael de Mesa played a more subdued version of the role but was nevertheless funny and firm, especially that his role required him to meet the demands of both his son and his partner!
I think this is the first time I've seen him sing, and he can definitely carry a tune! And he provided the perfect counterbalance to the live wire act which Audie's character had to provide!
