David Joseph England (born December 30, 1969) is an American stunt performer, television personality, and former professional snowboarder. He is best known as one of the stars of the reality stunt show Jackass.

Career

England was once a professional snowboarder and is featured in several of Kingpin Productions' snowboarding videos, including "Bulletproof" and "Back in Black". He was founder of the snowboarding magazine Skintight Magazine. He once worked as the field editor for Snowboarder Magazine and was the editor of Blunt magazine, the sister snowboarding magazine to skateboarding's Big Brother. England also appears in the 2008 film Shred, co-starring Tom Green. The film, about a snowboarding school run by England's character, was filmed at Big White, a ski resort in Canada.

Role in Jackass

England gets involved in stunts and pranks much like the rest of the cast, but he is the first one to participate in something when fecal matter is involved.

In one stunt on Jackass, England eats a number of uncooked ingredients that he thinks would be suitable for making an omelette. He then forces himself to become sick by eating raw eggs and proceeds to vomit into a bowl, which he then fries in a pan. Finally, he and Steve-O, very enthusiastically, eat the omelette he has just "made." One of England's skits ("Poo Diaper") almost did not make it to TV. This skit involves England reaching into a garbage can and eating out of a baby's diaper containing chocolate pudding. Johnny Knoxville told MTV to keep the skit, and after many debates MTV let Jackass keep "Poo Diaper".

Personal life

England is married to Shawna England, with whom he has two sons, named Van and Clyde. He also has two children from a previous relationship. He has spent brief periods in jail in the United States, New Zealand, and Japan.
