==Early life==
Knoxville was born Philip John Clapp, Jr. in Knoxville, Tennessee. His father, Philip Clapp, Sr., was a tire/car salesman, and his mother, Lemoyne Clapp (née Houck), taught Sunday school.〔http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2013/oct/01/south-knoxville-south-high-school-class-of-1956/〕 Knoxville credits a copy of Jack Kerouac's ''On the Road'', given to him by his cousin, singer-songwriter Roger Alan Wade, with giving him the acting bug.〔("Knoxville: A Southern mix of contradictions" ), ''USAToday'', August 8, 2005.〕 After graduating from South-Young High School in 1989 in Knoxville, he moved to California to become an actor. In the beginning, Knoxville appeared mostly in commercials and made several minor appearances as an extra. When the "big break" he sought eluded him, he decided to create his own opportunities by writing and pitching article ideas to various magazines. An idea to test self-defense equipment on himself captured the interest of Jeff Tremaine's skateboarding magazine ''Big Brother'', and the stunts were filmed and included in ''Big Brother'' "Number Two" video.
In October 2013 on the late night talk show ''Conan'', Knoxville revealed that he comes from significant inbreeding, discovered when he hired an American genealogist to help trace his family tree. It was during the search that the extent of inbreeding among his family was actually discovered, the genealogist informed Knoxville. Knoxville was not alarmed, but amused.
