Johnny Knoxville


As a stunt performer, Johnny Knoxville has been involved in a number of TV shows and movies. Most of these projects involve a great number of stunts that might scare most people, but not Knoxville. He even co-created and starred in his own MTV reality show, Jackass. When the series ended, he went on to become part of the first installment of the Jackass movie series.

Apart from these movies, the 50-year old actor also appeared in The Last Stand, The Dukes of Hazzard, and Men in Black II. A very physical man, Knoxville also got himself involved in WWE. His first opponent in the ring was The Great Khali back in 2008. As with The Great Khali, Johnny Knoxville is not his real name. He was born Philip John Clapp, but he thought that this name did not evoke the degree of fear and rIsk he usually takes on when doing his stunts, so he changed it.
