Wade gifted Knoxville a copy Jack Kerouac’s On The Road. He graduated from South-Doyle High School in Knoxville in 1989, and then relocated to California to pursue an acting career.His early acting roles mainly consisted of commercials and appearances as an extra. He wasn't able to get a big role and was unable to get his "big break" when he began proposing his ideas to magazines for articles. His plan to test self-defense tools against himself caught the eye of Jeff Tremaine-helmed skateboarding magazine Big Brother, and he was offered the opportunity to film stunts that appeared in the Big Brother's number Two video. Knoxville, Tremaine,
