Galileo. Leonardo DaVinci. Bob Saget? Yes, the comedian, director, actor and producer is indeed a Renaissance Man.

When he's not touring the country or recording comedy specials, he's hosting and producing shows like Videos After Dark on ABC (an update on his iconic America's Funniest Home Videos gig), and directing documentaries and feature films, including the dark comedy Benjamin, the first original film released by DVD rental service Redbox.
