Clinton Jackson spends most of his Tough Mudder weekends firmly planted near the last obstacle of the day, Electroshock Therapy. You can watch him for 8-10 hours and be in stitches for most of it. He also won't repeat himself the entire day, even though it would be easy to do so. I have gotten to know Clinton on and off the Tough Mudder course, and I can proudly say I love this dude. We talk a lot at events and spend most of our time talking about our families or trying to crack each other up. I realized looking at his Instagram account the other day, that Ive never asked him about all of his years in the entertainment industry, so lets' learn about it together shall we?
