My Take
Wee Man was always my favorite of the Jackass crew, and it's because he never let himself be the punchline, even when the bit was built around his height. The guy is a genuinely skilled skateboarder, and watching him bomb hills and land tricks reframed every stunt as something he was choosing to do, not having done to him. There's a relentless good humor to him that made the meaner edges of that show easier to take. He turned a wild MTV gig into a real, durable career, even opening a taco spot along the way. Underestimating him has always been the mistake.
