Pawn Stars Do America Cast & Crew
Rick Harrison, Corey Harrison, and Austin “Chumlee” Russell take centre stage as the stars of the show.
Richard Kevin Harrison
Richard Kevin Harrison is the owner of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas and he also stars in this show. He was born on January 17th, 1960, and grew up in Concord, North Carolina.
He was raised with his two brothers from his father’s first marriage to their mother’s sister who had died of cancer when they were children.
Rick has always been an astute eye for business, he started selling fake Gucci bags for almost $2000 and dropped out of school.
He has been nicknamed ” The Spotter” in the show for his keen eyes for identifying valuable items.
Corey Harrison
Corey Harrison is the star of Pawn Stars. And he’s also a businessman, reality TV personality, and author.
Corey Harrison (born September 4, 1971) is the star of Pawn Stars. He is a businessman, reality TV personality, and author who has been on the show since its debut in 2009.
He is Rick’s son and part owner of the shop. He owns Rick’s 5% of the store. He is known as “Big Hoss” in the show. Rick now serves as a manager in the pawn shop.
Corey began working at the pawn shop at the age of nine. He had his start by polishing knobs, jewelry, and antiques.
Austin Russell “Chumlee”
Austin Russell, the founder of Pawn Stars, is a very interesting man. He is a history buff and has deep knowledge about the items that come into his store.
He comments that he has never been more than 15 miles from Las Vegas in his life and he knows everything about this city.
Often the laughing stock of the show, Austin Russell was nicknamed “village idiot” in the show. Chumlee wasn’t supposed to be the star of Pawn stars at the beginning, his role was limited to only the first few episodes, but the producers ended up loving him. Look who is laughing now.

Pawn Stars Do America Filming Locations
The pawn connoisseur trio is set to hit the road from Seattle to Washinton DC; the first iteration of the show will follow them through eight various locations.
It will particularly be a spectacle fest to discover America with Austin as he has previously mentioned he hasn’t traveled 15 miles from Las Vegas.
The trio will take over these places in America:
1. Austin, Texas
Austin is the state capital of Texas. Austin sometimes also knows as “Violet Crown City”.
Austin was titled America’s 15th most drunk city in 2015, by Men Health. We wonder what will this city have to offer to the stars of the show.
2. Denver, Colorado
Okay, we can never thank Denver enough for giving us the cheeseburger. Yes, the cheeseburger was invented in Denver.
Denver has an impressive history hence an impressive and bustling art scene. The metropolis date back to the Old West era.
We are all set with eager eyes to see what our trio finds there.
3. Savannah, Georgia
The Pawn stars will be taking on the picturesque city of Savanah. The city is adorned with gothic revival architecture, we hope the show will uncover some of the artifacts relating to this.
4. San Francisco, California
The city is famed and raved for its bridges and prison, quite drastic things to be famous for. The city hosts America’s oldest Chinatown and the biggest Japantown. With its impressive places like these Pawn stars might find some Asian artifacts.
5. Seattle, Washington
The center of the grunge music scene and home to Amazon and Microsoft headquarters.
The city reeks of pop culture.

6. Valley Forge, Pennsylvania
Valley Forge once served as the winter encampment of George Washington and the Continental Army. The region is home to some of the must-see historical sites.
7. Washington, D.C.
Housing the United Nations’ capital and Darth Vader adorning the National Cathedral at Northwest Tower.
The Pawn stars will surely find some whacky stuff at the DC.
8. Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Krispy Kreme Doughnut was invented in Winston–Salem. The city is also known as the “City of Arts and Innovation” as well.
The eight episodes in this new iteration have been divided into the chronicles of eight of these cities.
The cast in past has had some interesting finds like George Washington’s suit, The Beatles’ contract, and Jimi Hendrix’s guitar.
We will keep our eyes peeled with each new episode who knows, they might just find another one of these.
