Vincent Margera (born July 3, 1956 in Concordville, Pennsylvania) is the uncle of Bam Margera and Jess Margera. He has appeared in the shows Viva La Bam and Jackass and the various Camp Kill Yourself videos. He is better known by his nickname Don Vito.
Biography
Vincent Margera is the older brother of Phil Margera, brother in-law of April Margera and uncle of Jess (CKY band drummer) and Bam Margera. He is unmarried, and before his arrest (see below), he lived in West Chester, PA. His home can be seen in Haggard: The Movie and various episodes of Viva La Bam.
Margera is usually referred to as "Don Vito", a nickname given to him by nephew Bam referring to his near unintelligible speech reminiscent of Don Vito Corleone, of The Godfather, as well as saluting the Margera family's Italian heritage. Bam's hero and HIM singer Ville Valo used to use the nickname "Don Vitto" which Bam borrowed to refer to his uncle Vince. It comes from the Finnish swearword "vittu", meaning "pussy".
Unlike his brother Phil, who is depicted as kind, easygoing and quiet, Vito is loud and obnoxious. He usually has something offensive to say about anyone and everyone. This is probably why he is the target of a lot of pranks pulled by the CKY crew. Margera is obese, and is often difficult to understand while speaking (especially when frustrated and/or angry), forcing subtitles to be used for much of what he says in Viva La Bam. Even then, much of his dialogue is either gibberish or unintelligible. He also has strabismus and makes no secret of his love for the female form, particularly breasts.
Arrest
On Friday, August 18, 2006, Don Vito was arrested at the Colorado Mills Mall in Lakewood, Colorado for allegedly groping two underage girls (ages 14 and 12) inappropriately at an autograph signing and subsequently held with bail set at $50,000.. He posted bond around 10 p.m. the following Monday. As a condition of his bond Margera was ordered not to possess any alcohol, drugs, weapons and is not permitted to contact the victim. Additionally, he cannot leave the state of Colorado.
