The Dirty Jobs extraordinaire, Mike Rowe, was actually the voice behind American Chopper while it was still on the Discovery Channel and TLC.
He’s currently hosting a series produced for Facebook called Returning the Favor.
Competition: Win An Orange County Chopper
Upon its premiere, Discovery Channel decided to promote the show through a contest.
The network even sponsored the competition in order to get their own custom chopper! Four winners were chosen and were given an episode that was devoted entirely to their custom bike!
Time On The Air
American Chopper was truly a hit show, lasting on air for a crazy ten years! You could tell that their audience was absolutely hooked.
You can watch this show and its 165 episodes as they have re-runs available!
Paul Sr. The Marine
Did you know that Paul Sr. actually served in the US army? He was even involved in Vietnam!
He was a part of the United States Merchant Marines, a privately owned vessel that is allowed to be government-controlled during wartime.
Tattoo Addict
It’s already pretty obvious but Paul Sr. has always had a reputation for getting tatted up. There was even an entire episode dedicated to his special ink addiction! Additionally, he was even featured on Miami Ink.
According to him, he gets tattoos when he’s feeling emotional. It makes sense considering the amount of drama he’s been through!
