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!
Mike Rowe, Narrator
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.
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.
The Chopper Live: The Revenge
In 2012, with 12 seasons in, Discovery Channel eventually announced the show would go off air with a special called “The Chopper Live: The Revenge”.
This entire special featured a competition with Paul Jr. up against his father, Jesse James, and the Team Fast ‘n Loud, Teutel. Paul Jr. ended up winning again with his New York inspired bike, while Paul Sr. finished in fourth place.
American Body Shop
You know a show has reached its popularity when there are parodies made about it! American Body Shop was one of the improvisational comedies on Comedy Central that parodied the show.
Unfortunately, it was canceled after one season, but the laughs were undeniable!
