A truly amazing woman, whom is a handful of women who are involved in this profession that many donated by men, and is able to hold her own in the ruff and tumble nature of commercial fishing, especially in Crab fishing up in Alaska on the treacherous Bering Sea, considered by various people to the world most dangerous job. But she is able to take it all in strive and act like it another day in the office for her. She is also able to take care of her crew despite their colorful nature and earn their respect despite the fact that she is a woman. Above all of this she is also keeping the fans of the show updated with blogs on their official website on how they are doing in the current fishing season.

Nick Mavar is my all time favorite crew member on the Northwestern. Why? Because it seems that he totally comfortable with the camera crews, taking it in strive and acting like himself, accpeting the fact and moving on. But he doesn’t seem to hog up the camera like Edgar does. He also seems to have a calming affect on the crew, keeping the antics of his Deck Boss, Edgar in check, that sometimes results in him getting the full force of the jokes that he can play on the crew.
It a real shame that the editors on Deadliest Catch spend more time on Sig and Edgar Hansen, rather then this guy. Because I have feelings that this guy can crack out some one-liners like Sig and Edgar have before if just give him some more screen time in the series.

Whenever Mike Rowe is hosting his own Discovery Show, Dirty Jobs, were the person can see the face that is behind the solemn voice that narrates another Discovery Show, Deadliest Catch. One can’t help the fact that Discovery has captured lighten in the bottle, not once, when they got him to replace Thom Beers, whom is the producer of the show, as the narrator for Deadliest Catch, but twice when they got him to host his own show, Dirty Jobs.
While in Deadliest Catch, Mike has stick with a script that is written for him, that does not allow him much room to do make up things off the top of his head. But with his other show, Mike is pretty much given free reign with this show, as long as he attempts to the jobs that are featured in an episode. This allows Mike to showcase his humor, which I have to said is pretty dang funny and give the impression that he the every day person whom is dropped into the middle of something that they have no clue what the heck they got themselves into.

Eric Nyhammer is a crab boat captain that refusing to follow the crowd, a trait that it both a blessing and curse for him and his crew, for in the course of the show it was showed that it was something that had aided them and hinder them. It is something that appeals to me, because I am the type of person that loves people that are rebellious in their nature and I even love more when their rebellious nature gains them fortunes.
And while many fans of the show complained about his skills as being a Captain are a little lack when compare to the other captains, when he lets something go on, like when he let some of his young deckhands to fool around on the deck of his ship to the point where one of them did swing over the open ocean waters. But, I think he let them do it because he was in the same spot that they were in and just like them, he knew that telling them to stop what they were doing, wouldn’t do anything. That the only way that they were would learn is from doing and making mistakes, like he did.
I think that his captain style is the way that it is because at his heart, Eric is an artist, that would be rather painting then fishing for crabs in one of the worst environments that a person can be at.

Captain Sig Hansen is the main man of his ship, the F/V Northwestern and it is a job that he has been doing for a couple of years. According to him and his crew he is doing a great job at it because he hasn't a major accident while in command of his boat, which is almost 18 years. That is telling me something, that this guy knows what is doing despite the type of job that he is involved with. Anybody that can do that in the enivornment that he dose it in, is a man of quite talent and somebody that has gain my respect.
While is great at his job, let's not forget the personality that this guy has, which seems to be to be a low key down to earth guy that dose not care about the new found frame that he gain with this show. For he knows that if this show ever tanks, it has no bearing on him or his crew, for they will all still go out and fish for either King or Snow crab. Like the rest of the people that are featured in this show, he is a real person that is doing his job, even if might been the world dangerous job. It also help with the fact that Sig has gone out of his way to answer some of the viewers questions about his job, either it be in a live chat or forum postings.

What can I say about Edger Hansen, the youngest of the three Hansen brothers, whom own and run the Northwestern? Just one word: Original. Much, like Mikey Teutel, on “American Chopper”, Edger is an original character in the show and seems to provides much of the humor in the show with quick one liners. While showing the rest of the world the type of job that he has and educating world as well at what he dose for a living. Unlike Mikey, whom means well, but most of the time screws things up, Edger knows what he is doing on that ship and means well. Snice Edger Hansen is a real person, we all know that he isn't a fake, and so is showing his real face on the show. He also seems to be well suited as a reality TV star.

One of the better actors that I have seen flown under the RADAR in the past years and I couldn’t believe that there was an actor as good as Eric out there, that I haven’t hear or seen before. It is a real shame that it took the SF Channel’s miniseries “The Triangle” for me to see this actor in action and when that happen this unknown actor quickly became one of my all time favorite actors, despite the fact that I have only seen him in one role so far.
Now, that I have seen him and how good of actor that he I would like to see more movies that he is the star of the movie to get a better judge of his acting skills. But, from what I saw in his performance in “The Triangle”, I wouldn’t be disappointed with his roles. Plus it also saddens me that this guy hasn’t gotten more TV roles that are a little more long-lasting than the ones that he has pervious had in the past.

Troy Belleci is a part of the Build Team on the show MythBusters and because of that many fans of the show look down at him. One shouldn't do that him for he is equally as good as the hosts of the show and in the episode “Breaking Glass” his skills come to the surface.
Ever since that one episode he has quickly become one of my favorites on the show and I have look at him in a different light. That light is the fact that he dose belong on that show and that nobody should say other. Plus is equally goofy as Adam is with his jokes and his one in a while accidents that seem to be his own fault or faults or others.

Adam Savage as his Biography on this site proves, that he is a muti-talented individual who has a knack of thinking on his feet. While his impressive biography dose shows his success in the his line of work it is only one-dimensional, that does not show his personality as the show dose. And if you just only read that you won’t get the full picture of him, like you do the show.
Adam personality really shines in MythBusters with the fact that it has the type of environment in which it thrives. For it allows him to be himself whenever it be may be, to ham it up, spit out enjoyable one-liners that seem to hit square in the face, or even injury himself for the enjoyment of the fans or even the producer of the show.
While I, myself have never meet Adam personally, and highly doubt that I would. I have heard from people that have meet him and even himself that he a very approachable down to Earth, individual that wouldn’t mine talking to fans. Hearing make me happy with the fact that he knows that fans of a show is what make it last long and that if you alienate your fans they have a nasty habit of killing your show. Because a good majority of stars of hit shows will push you off and not want to talk to you no matter what.
