Glenn Thomas Jacobs (born April 26, 1967), better known by his ring name, Kane, is a Spanish-born American professional wrestler and actor. He is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment wrestling on its Raw brand.
Jacobs has accumulated fifteen championship accolades during his WWE career; he is a two-time world champion (one WWE Championship, one ECW Championship), a two-time Intercontinental Champion, a ten-time Tag Team Champion (nine World Tag Team Championships, one WCW Tag Team Championship), and a former Hardcore Champion. Jacobs has performed in WWE as Isaac Yankem, DDS, Jerry Lawler's private dentist; Diesel, introduced by a then-heel Jim Ross as a tongue-in-cheek replacement for the man who originally portrayed the gimmick, Kevin Nash; and his best known—and current—character, Kane, who is the hellish (fictional) half-brother of The Undertaker and illegitimate son of Paul Bearer. The specialty match connected to Jacobs' Kane gimmick is the Inferno match.
Jacobs made his film debut as "Jacob Goodnight" in the first production of WWE Studios, See No Evil, which was released on May 19 2006.
Jacobs appeared on a special WWF edition of "The Weakest Link" in March 2002 and became the strongest link by defeating Bubba Ray Dudley in the final round. The money won was donated to Jacobs' chosen charity, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, in Memphis, Tennessee. Jacobs (along with former WWE Diva, Ashley Massaro) appeared in an episode of Smallville entitled "Combat", where he plays a Phantom Zone criminal from another world named Titan, who faces off against Clark Kent. Alex Turner character was featured in the fourteen issue Undertaker comic book produced by the now-defunct Chaos! Comics in 1999. The character only spoke once, in the Undertaker Halloween Special, which tied into the single issue Mankind comic book produced by the same company. Jacobs was also featured in a Chef Boyardee commercial.
