Fans of "Deadliest Catch" will likely know Landon Cheney best as the recently-promoted deck boss of Captain "Wild Bill" Wichrowski's F/V Summer Bay, who replaced the late Nick McGlashan after the latter passed away of a tragic drug overdose. Although Landon's screen time isn't nearly as prolific as that of his captain's, Wichrowski made sure to let everyone know that Landon has enjoyed a decent amount of success from his time on "Deadliest Catch" — which Landon uses for his own charity work.
"You know and a lot of guys will take this and use it for charity purposes too, the notoriety from the show," Whicrowski explained during an interview with Headliner Chicago. "Like Landon... he's always working with some charity, he's always doing some good stuff." Wichrowski's praise for Landon's charitable actions should come as no surprise considering his own history of charity work, though it is certainly notable that he should call out Landon specifically for using the show's success to do something good.
In any case, perhaps fans will lock at the deck boss of the F/V Summer Bay in a new light from now on — knowing his commitment to charity outside of his work on "Deadliest Catch"
