I wonder how they chose the main cast


I was looking over the first three seasons of jackass the tv show and brandon dicamillo was in it a lot more than wee man and preston. wee man isn't even in season 2!

how come brandon dicamillo who was in it more so than even ehren not int he main cast for the movies. its not like he didnt want to do the movies since he is in #1 and #2?

how did wee man and preston get picked over him.

Thanks again, Tony, you've been very helpful. I just saw Jackass: The Beginning on youtube, it said Preston was picked through a casting call.

I also read an interview with Knoxville where he stated that he, Pontius, Wee-Man, Ehren, and Dave England would be interested in a fourth one. It didn't say anything though about Preston, Bam and Steve-O.

If I remember right, Preston Lacy was found at an open casting call. They just thought a guy of his size would be funny when paired in stunts with Wee Man.

Bam said on tv that he would do another jackass movie but had concerns due to his bone spurs in his feet, bad knees and not having Ryan Dunn. He did go on to suggest the [Brandon] Novack would be awesome to have a bigger role in a new movie.
