It was sometimes unclear if Don Vito really was so unwitting, so drunk, so unintelligible, or if he had created a character for the camera that played well to the premise of the show. That's certainly what his lawyers wanted a jury to believe when he was accused in of molesting two year-old girls at an autograph appearance in Lakewood, Colorado.
His lawyers argued that he was simply playing the part of the lecherous dirty old man character he was known for and that his actions had been misconstrued.
Not so, said prosecutor Jim Stanley: "This man was out of control during this public event. He was so intoxicated that he peed his pants while with these children.
The jury didn't buy what Don Vito's defense was selling, and he was found guilty. In addition to probation, and registration as a sex offender, Don Vito was prohibited from being Don Vito — the judge declared that Vincent Margera could not appear in public as his TV persona for ten years. But Don Vito would never return to the public eye.
He passed away from complications from kidney and liver failure in Ehren "Danger" McGhehey credits his pro-snowboarding background with his knowing how to take a fall — he had already broken his neck and undergone ACL reconstruction prior to joining the "Jackass" gang. And despite his fondness of safety gear, and his trademarked motto "Safety first! McGhehey told Page Six that the competition between the guys to earn valuable camera time pushed him to do things he didn't really want to do.
The toll on his body led to 25 surgeries tending to multiple injuries he suffered on set — including three times breaking his back. The gag he became most known for involved his tooth getting ripped out, over and over again. The last time, it was with fishing wire and Bam's Lamborghini. McGhehey lives in Portland and enjoys his work as a professional photographer. He also occasionally acts, having made cameo appearances on "Portlandia. You only get one body.
Take care of it. Chris Raab, better known as "Raab Himself," was part of the original CKY crew and appeared in the "Jackass" series as well as the first "Jackass" film. Although he may not have become a household name like some of his costars, he did become just as embroiled in a world of drugs and alcohol like some of the others. Raab told Page Six that the painkillers he would turn to for his personal injuries led to an "obsessive lifestyle" that made him a "slave to drugs and alcohol.
Now sober, the return to the "real world" beyond Jackass has not been a smooth one. Raab, who never made the kind of money that came to the bigger stars who stuck with the "Jackass" brand, blew through the more modest amount he earned as a young man and found himself paying the rent by waiting tables before he found some success in acting.
Of Bam Margera's return to rehab, Raab said, "It's a shame because he was a young guy in shape and a great skateboarder, and drugs robbed him of that.
It did the same thing to me, and it's hard to watch one of your best friends getting destroyed by it. He has to get sober and take this seriously, or he'll be dead. Professional skateboarder, lifelong friend of Bam, and original member of the CKY crew, Brandon Novak appeared in "Jackass 2" and "Jackass 3D," though his biggest claim to fame is his harrowing tale of heroin addiction and multiple stints in detox and rehab, which he recounted in his bestselling book, "Dreamseller.
A heroin addict for 21 years, Novak attended rehab multiple times over his years involved with "Jackass" and would sometimes crash with Bam when he was released, which he admits was just a way to continue using. Novak says , "And then with Bam and the crowd I ran with, you know, everyone liked to party. So if people wanted to be friends with me, they came up to me and handed me drugs.
It's not like I was running with the most sober of crowds. Novak eventually became too much to handle for even the "Jackass" crew, and Bam kicked Novak out of the studio for having heroin on him during a taping of the Sirius show, " Radio Bam ," and later kicked him off an Australian tour. At Novak's lowest, he was homeless and selling his body on the streets of Baltimore for a fix while using dirty needles and contracting Hepatitis C.
His own mom issued a restraining order against him. At rock bottom, he entered rehab once again and remains sober to this day. He has a documentary in the works, a graphic novel, and a re-release of his book "Dreamseller," with an updated ending focused on his return to rehab.
Along for the fateful ride the night that Ryan Dunn died was year-old Zachary Hartwell , a production assistant on "Jackass 2" and stunt driver on "Minghags. Dunn's girlfriend, Angie, had been a bridesmaid at their wedding. Hartwell was a veteran who had served two tours of duty in Iraq. The two friends had been out that night in celebration of a business deal that involved a documentary they were making together. Photographs appearing on Twitter that night showed Dunn and Hartwell toasting over drinks at a local bar.
Hartwell's father, George Hartwell, told Hollywood Life in that the Hartwell family had no intention of suing the Dunn estate over the accident, saying, "Why would we sue? Zac made the same mistakes Brandon Cole "Bam" Margera born September 28, , is a professional skateboarder, television and radio personality, daredevil and Jackass Crew member.

England is the father of four children, with the fourth child, Van Alexander England, born in A writer in addition to being a stunt performer, Preston Lacy is credited for coming up with a lot of the memorable skits and stunts that the Jackass crew has performed over the years.
Nevertheless, Lacy himself is often known for his outbursts, particularly when the laughs are directed towards him. Unlike his fellow cast members, Lacy hasn't made any big appearances in other movies, and he only made a couple brief appearances in and on Ridiculousness with Wee-Man. Since Jackass 3D , the year-old comedy performer has focused his efforts on his stand-up comedy, touring around the country in festivals, clubs, bars, and several other locations.
Compared to his co-stars, Lacy's life has been a little more low-key. Jason Acuna, also known as "Wee-Man," is a professional actor, stunt performer, and skateboarder. He is often known for doing skits with Preston Lacy in Jackass the show and the theatrical movies. But he has done several stunts and comedy performances throughout his tenure in the group. Since Jackass 3D , Acuna has taken some interesting turns in his professional career. Notably, as an actor, he starred in and served as an executive producer on his first family-friendly film, Elf-Man.
Acuna lent his voice to a character in Adult Swim's long-running animated sitcom, Squidbillies. The year-old was an investor in the Chronic Tacos chain of casual Mexican restaurants. The first location opened in in Redondo Beach, California, however, the location closed for good a few years later. In , however, Acuna opened a new Chronic Tacos franchise.
Typically referred to by his nickname "Danger Ehren," Ehren McGhehey is a daredevil who is known for getting injured and losing teeth at a regular clip. Ultimately, McGhehey has become the butt of many jokes in the Jackass crew, including one particularly memorable prank-within-a-prank in the climatic moments of Jackass Number Two.
After his appearance in Jackass 3D , McGhehey made some appearances on popular television shows like Portlandia, Ridiculousness , and Grimm. Additionally, the veteran year-old stunt performer did acting work in the film, All Hell Breaks Loose.
This is just a brief glimpse into the lives of the Jackass crew in the nearly 10 years since Jackass 3D popped into theaters. Suffice to say, these performers have faced their fair share of difficulties and challenges over the past decade, notably with the tragic, untimely death of Ryan Dunn. The hardships can be brutal, and it is apparent that while they've all mostly kept busy, they haven't quite achieved the same success without each other's company.
Nevertheless, it'll be fascinating, heart-warming and, of course, very funny to see the debauched group get together for Jackass 4 in
