F/V Fierce Allegiance captain Rick Mezich appears in the 1999 TV documentary "Deadliest Job in the World," which served as a precursor to "Deadliest Catch" and predates the introduction of series mainstays like Sig Hansen. However, after completing its filming, Mezich largely stepped away from the world of TV and film. Unsurprisingly, though, he remained in the fishing industry after the conclusion of his brief stint as a documentary star.
