Biography
Brandon Cole "Bam" Margera rose to prominence in the early 2000s as a star of MTV's Jackass, the reality stunt show that defined a generation's appetite for controlled chaos. He leveraged that platform to create multiple spin-off shows: Viva La Bam (2003–2006), Bam's Unholy Union (2007), Bam's World Domination (2010), and Bam's Bad Ass Game Show (2014). Beyond television, Margera worked as a filmmaker, co-writing and directing Haggard (2003) and Minghags (2009).
As a screenwriter and actor, Margera's career intersected stunt performance with narrative filmmaking—unusual for someone whose initial fame came from improvised danger. Born September 28, 1979, in the US, he operates under a Libra sun, a sign traditionally associated with balance and public visibility; his life reads as a cautionary tale about fame's asymmetry. Life Path 9 suggests cyclical endings and humanitarian reckoning—themes that have defined his post-2000s trajectory.
Since the mid-2000s, Margera has struggled with alcoholism and subsequent legal troubles. Following the death of childhood friend Ryan Dunn and the collapse of his television projects in 2011–12, his drinking and drug use intensified. In 2020, he was fired from Jackass Forever (2022) production due to his substance issues.
