Career

Lacy worked as a truck driver in Missouri before moving to California. He landed roles in several commercials, including one for Napster that aired during Super Bowl XXXIX. He met Johnny Knoxville during a commercial audition, and the two began to collaborate on skit ideas for Knoxville's show Jackass. Originally brought on as a writer, Knoxville convinced Lacy to participate in the stunts.[2]

Lacy shares a writing credit for National Lampoon's TV: The Movie. He starred alongside Chris Kattan in the film Christmas in Wonderland. He appeared in Jackass 3D, which was released October 15, 2010, and in Jackass 3.5.

Lacy has been on tour doing stand-up comedy. Notably, he has participated in the BBM Comedy Tours in New York and Florida, as well performing at festivals, clubs and bar rooms around the country.[3][4]

Jackass

When on Jackass, Lacy is most often featured with Jason "Wee Man" Acuña and their most common skit involves Lacy chasing after Wee Man down public streets in nothing more than their briefs and white T-shirts, showing off his obesity.[5] Lacy has contributed many of the ideas that later became Jackass skits and stunts. Preston is also known for his anger outbursts, the most memorable of which occurred during the "Eggnog Challenge" for the Jackass Christmas Special.[6]
