Kenneth Ehren McGhehey ^[1] (born November 29, 1976), ^{[2] [3]} also known as Danger Ehren, is an American stunt performer, actor and former professional snowboarder. He is best known as one of the cast members of the reality stunt franchise Jackass .

Early life

McGhehey was born in McMinnville, Oregon, and grew up living over a mortuary. By the age of 12, he was an accomplished skateboarder, and later became a professional snowboarder, breaking his neck, shoulder, and knees in the process. While working at a skate shop in Portland, Oregon, McGhehey began filming stunts, leading to his involvement with Jackass. ^[3]

Jackass

Main article: Jackass (franchise)

McGhehey joined Jackass after his friend Dave England asked director Jeff Tremaine to put him on the team.^{[ citation needed ]} He later appeared in all three seasons and four Jackass films. His motto when performing stunts on the show was "Safety First". McGhehey is often referred to by his nickname "Danger Ehren" by fellow Jackass cast and crew, not least due to his tendency to injure himself and lose teeth in the pursuit of stunts.^{[ citation needed ]}

McGhehey has been the butt of many jokes by the Jackass crew, most notably in the infamous "Terror Taxi" skit from Jackass Number Two , one of Johnny Knoxville's favorites. ^[4] In the stunt, McGhehey was dressed as a stereotypical Muslim terrorist with the idea being to scare a taxi driver; part of his costume involved him having a beard glued to his face that was made out of shaved pubic hair contributed by the entire crew. ^[4] In a podcast with Steve-O, McGhehey suggested some of those jokes amounted to bullying, and that some of it happened off-camera. ^[5]
