Jesse Ventura

Jesse Ventura is the stage name of James George Janos, an American who achieved fame as a professional wrestler before becoming governor of Minnesota (1999–2003).

His unlikely political victory as a Reform Party candidate made him a symbol of voter rebellion against establishment politics.

He has since worked as a television host, author, and conspiracy theorist.
