Knoxville's distinctive charm and fearlessness have endeared him to audiences worldwide. His willingness to put his body on the line for entertainment, combined with his quick wit and natural comedic timing, has made him a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.

He has also ventured into writing, publishing his autobiography, "The Jackass Whisperer," in 2018.
