Brandon Ralph DiCamillo (born November 15, 1976 in West Chester, Pennsylvania; also known as "Dico") is an American actor, stuntman and screenwriter. He was a founding member of the CKY Crew and rose to fame through appearances in the CKY video series and MTV's Jackass, Viva La Bam and Bam's Unholy Union. DiCamillo is also a comedic voice talent and vocalist with the band Gnarkill. He is referred to as "Dico," "Deek," "D-Cup" and "Bran" on Viva La Bam and Radio Bam. DiCamillo is credited with the idea of "Shopping Carts" and many other stunts from Jackass and the CKY video series, and was writer and art director for Haggard: The Movie. DiCamillo is also well-known for his prank calls and freestyle raps, some of which can be viewed in the CKY movies or on the CKY Vol. 2 CD.

DiCamillo is a compulsive video gamer/video game addict and a suspected aviophobe. Brandon often talks about his love of games on the internet radio show Gamecasa that he became a regular member of in 2007. DiCamillo stated on the show that he "frequents old arcade machine auctions" to add to his collection. On the DVD commentary for Jackass the movie, Bam Margera states that Brandon hates to fly, and doesn't really like to leave his home town of West Chester. On Viva La Bam, he frequently complains about the gang's trips disrupting his gaming. At one point he refused to go to Mexico with the crew, claiming: "All the video games there suck. What am I going to play, Utre Combat? El Street Fight Grande?." In another episode, he got off a plane headed for the Mall of America, refusing to go to a "Mortal Kombat-less mall". He has flown with the crew on several occasions. One of these occasions was on the "lost episode: Iceland" Brandon traveled with the group to Iceland but did not appear in any of the short skits on the plane. When asked in an interview about this, DiCamillo commented "If it's for MTV, I won't fly."

DiCamillo is also a fan of the Calgary Flames ice hockey team and the San Diego Chargers football team. He has worn their jersey on more than one occasion on Viva La Bam, as well as mentioning them various times on Radio Bam.

DiCamillo's more recent projects are featured in a new DVD to be released in 2008 under Romansaussage.

Discography

• Call Me Crazy: California Style

A very rare collection of prank calls Brandon made in high school. The cassette is a standard blank cassette Brandon recorded onto. The strip label on both sides of the cassette is written in Brandon's own handwriting with a pen on both sides of the cassette and simply reads Call Me Crazy-Brandon Dicamillo. It was released as a cassette only. It is rumored that only 100 copies were made. The artwork and liner notes were made by Brandon and photocopied for each copy of the album.

• Otimen Recording Hell

A collection of songs written mostly by Brandon and Bam Margera. The precursor to Gnarkill, as the musical style is very similar.

• Gnarkill-The Mustard Man EP

This album was released only on vinyl. It is rumored that less than 100 were distributed, as 1000 (or perhaps 2000) were made, but almost all were destroyed due to water damage. Some of the tracks are the same as tracks on the self-titled Gnarkill album.
