Johnny Knoxville (born Philip John Clapp on March 11, 1971 in Knoxville, Tennessee) is an American comic actor, best known as the co-creator and principal star of the MTV series Jackass.
He starred with Seann William Scott in the Jay Chandrasekhar adaptation of The Dukes of Hazzard. He has also worked with director John Waters in A Dirty Shame and starred in Daltry Calhoun, written and directed by Katrina Holden Bronson and produced by Quentin Tarantino. His most recent film, The Ringer, casts Knoxville as an able-bodied office worker who joins the Special Olympics to pay for a surgical operation on his gardener.
He was first noticed while writing a Tennessee newspaper series on testing warning labels and "do not try this at home" warnings. His tests were shown in skateboarding videos and eventually evolved into Jackass. Prior to the MTV show, he turned down an offer from Saturday Night Live to do similar stunts for them on a weekly basis. However, later in 2005, Knoxville hosted SNL.
Knoxville has a wife, Melanie, and a daughter named Madison, whose name is tattooed on his chest over his heart. He purchased a cabin from Johnny Cash right before Cash died. Knoxville is the cousin of Roger Alan Wade.
He is currently slated to appear in the John Madden directed adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel, Killshot.
