Bob Saget

From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.

Although he is best known for his roles as foul-mouthed cretins on shows such as Full House, fans of Bob Saget may be surprised to learn that the actor is also an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church.

"Those are just roles I play," Saget explained in a 1993 interview with the magazine Christianity Today. "When I say those horrible things, it's the character speaking, not me. I know that God wants me to be out with the unwashed, much as his son Jesus also preached among the unclean."

Saget is also the creator of a popular series of restaurant and travel guides and was the driving creative force behind the seminal avant-garde docu-drama America's Funniest Home Videos.
