in 2013 Wee Man was born Jason Acuña in
Pisa, Italy. He grew up in
Torrance, California, a suburb of
Los Angeles, and attended
North High School. He is of Mexican and German descent. He was the subscription manager for the skateboard magazine
Big Brother. His association with that magazine led him to become involved with the
Jackass television series in 2000. Acuña's
Jackass antics include skating as an
Oompa-Loompa, kicking himself in the head, dressing as a king while rolling
Johnny Knoxville down a staircase in a red carpet, and doing deep-knee bends while holding basketball star
Shaquille O'Neal on his back. A
recurring gag involves
Preston Lacy asking someone to help him with his bags, only to have Acuña pop out, causing Lacy to chase him. In 2007, Acuña starred in the
reality TV series
Armed and Famous, and in July 2007, Acuña appeared on TV as a host of
MTV's
Scarred. Acuña appeared on the first season of
NBC's
Celebrity Circus. In the fourth week of competition, he became the first contestant to receive a perfect score (a 10-point average). Acuña ended the season in third place. Acuña is an investor in the
Chronic Tacos chain of fast casual Mexican restaurants. His first franchise location opened in 2010 in
Redondo Beach, California. After a few years of trying to make this location a success, Acuña closed the location permanently, and in February 2018, he opened a Chronic Tacos franchise in
Long Beach, California. In 2012, Acuña starred in the direct-to-video holiday film
Elf-Man as the title character. This was his first role in a family-friendly feature film. ==Filmography==
