Preston Lacy (born August 14, 1969) is an American daredevil, actor and writer for the television show and companion movies, Jackass.

When on Jackass, Lacy is most often featured with Jason Acuña (Wee-Man) and their most common skit involves Lacy chasing after "Wee-Man" down public streets in nothing more than their briefs and white T-shirts. Lacy has contributed many of the ideas that later became Jackass skits and stunts. Preston is also known for his anger outbursts, the most memorable of which occurred during "The Eggnog Challenge," where Preston passed out and fellow contestant Chris Nieratko puked in Preston's hat and put it back on his head. Preston then started ripping down the Christmas decorations and flipping tables. Lacy shares a writing credit for National Lampoon's TV: The Movie.

He starred alongside Chris Kattan in the film Christmas in Wonderland. He appeared in Jackass 3D, which was released October 15, 2010, and in Jackass 3.5.

On December 14, 2010, Lacy was arrested in Oklahoma for possession of a controlled substance, which was marijuana, and drug paraphernalia and was charged with two misdemeanors. Lacy could face up to two years in prison if convicted.

Philip John Clapp (born March 11, 1971), better known by his stage name Johnny Knoxville, is an American actor, comedian, screenwriter, producer and stunt performer, most commonly associated as a co-creator and cast member on the MTV reality series Jackass.

Knoxville was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, the son of Lemoyne and Philip Clapp. Phillip Clapp, Knoxville's father, worked as a car salesman.

Knoxville credits a copy of Jack Kerouac's On the Road given to him by his cousin, country singer/songwriter Roger Alan Wade, with giving him the acting bug. After graduating from South-Young High School in 1989 in Knoxville, he moved to California to become an actor, and at first appeared in commercials and as an extra. Not getting the big break he had hoped for, he began writing and pitching article ideas to various magazines. An idea to test self-defense equipment on himself was picked up by the Jeff Tremaine-helmed skateboarding magazine Big Brother, and the stunts were filmed and included in Big Brother's Number Two video.
