Role in Jackass

Dave gets involved in stunts and pranks much like the rest of the cast, but he is the first one to get involved in something when fecal matter is involved. Dave proclaimed himself on the Jackass Number Two DVD commentary that he is the "world's first professional shitter", inasmuch as he gets paid to defecate on TV.

He jokingly claims that he is the only proven person in the world that is capable of defecating on command although he finds urinating on command to be difficult.
