I met this guy at a Warped tour show. He was getting paid to ride around on a
Honda XR75 while guys were doing tricks on a ramp. Everyone was yelling
"Wee Man, Wee Man" trying to get his autograph and he was just smiling
and waving at them. I knew that his real name was Jason due to my son being a
skateboarder and having a poster of him on my basement wall. I yelled
"Jason" and he ripped right over to me. We BS'd for a little bit and
he signed my ticket stub for the kid. He really is a good guy.
Jason Bryant Acuña (born May 16, 1973[1]), better known as "Wee-Man",
is an American TV host and actor. He is one of the stars of Jackass on MTV and
the host of NESN's skateboarding show 54321. Acuña has achondroplasia, a form
of dwarfism and is 4 ft 0.5 in (1.23 m) tall. He is also a professional
skateboarder. Born in Pisa, Italy, Acuña grew up in Torrance, California and
attended North High School.
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 2001. Acuña's Jackass antics include skating as an
Oompa-Loompa, kicking himself in the head (a feat accomplished with the aid of
his dwarfen proportions), dressing as a king while rolling Johnny Knoxville down
a staircase in a red carpet, doing deep-knee bends while holding NBA star
Shaquille O'Neal on his back, and having Preston Lacy ask someone to help him
with his bags, only to have Wee-Man pop out, causing Preston to give chase. His
first appearance was on Jackass season 1 episode 2 where he dressed up as a
reindeer doing a stunt along with Johnny Knoxville wearing a Santa Claus
outfit.
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 Live.
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.
