Acuña has achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism. He is also a professional skateboarder and uses a regular skateboard despite claims that due to his height uses a smaller-sized or modified skateboard.[2] Jason's father was born and raised in northern Spain. Acuña grew up in Torrance, California and attended North High School.

He was the subscription manager for the infamous skateboard magazine Big Brother.
He had a cameo in the 2003 movie Grind, and has been on the television show Wildboyz and the video game Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4" (in the Playstation port) as an unlockable playable character.
Acuña's Jackass antics include skating as an Oompa-Loompa, kicking himself in the head (a feat accomplished with the aid of his dwarfen proportions), dressing as a king while rolling Johnny Knoxville down a staircase in a red carpet, doing deep-knee bends while holding NBA star Shaquille O'Neal on his back, and having Preston Lacy ask someone to help him with his bags, only to have Wee-Man pop out, causing Preston to give chase.
He was pranked in a first season episode of the show Punk'd, in a segment in which Jack Osbourne also appeared.
He starred in the 2007 reality TV series Armed and Famous.
