Dax Shepard has shown his ability as an actor with his wonderful role as Crosby on NBC's "Parenthood."

With his new car-chase comedy thriller "Hit and Run," which came out Wednesday, the 37-year-old actor shows that he's more than a one-trick pony. Beyond starring in the film - alongside his fiancee Kristen Bell and close pals Bradley Cooper and Tom Arnold - he also wrote it and co-directed it.

In the film, Shepard plays a guy in witness protection who puts his life at risk for the woman he loves (Bell). And with a ton of car chases.
