Jason Shannon Acuña, widely recognized by his stage name Wee Man, is an American stunt performer, professional skateboarder, actor, and television personality born on May 16, 1973. Rising to fame as one of the standout stars of the MTV reality comedy series Jackass, Acuña became known for his fearless stunts, bold pranks, and charismatic personality, often using humor and physical comedy to challenge stereotypes about people with dwarfism. His presence added a unique and memorable dynamic to the ensemble cast, helping Jackass become a pop culture phenomenon in the early 2000s.
