If you’ve followed Wicked Tuna, chances are you remember Angelica Marciano—working the deck of the Hard Merchandise, right alongside her father, Captain Dave Marciano.

From hauling massive tuna off the Atlantic coast to managing movie shoots in New York and New Mexico, she’s built a career that bridges her salty roots with her passion for storytelling behind the scenes. Along the way, she’s brought her sense of humor, a strong work ethic, and a clear voice—whether scrubbing down boats or coordinating big-budget productions.

Early Life and Education
Angelica Marciano was born on August 15, 1992, in Gloucester, Massachusetts—a coastal town steeped in commercial fishing tradition. Raised in a fishing family, she is the daughter of Captain Dave and Nancy Marciano, and grew up alongside her siblings, Joe and Eve.
While fishing was part of the family lifestyle, Angelica also focused on academics. She graduated from Gloucester High School and later earned her Bachelor’s degree in Communications with a minor in Psychology from Newbury College in Brookline, Massachusetts, in 2014.
Building a Career Across Industries
Angelica’s career has always balanced hard work with versatility. During college, she took on internships and roles in marketing and communications—including time at Let’s Get Creative and John Guilfol Public Relations LLC. She also gained early experience in customer service while working for Ralph Lauren.
After graduating, she explored the entertainment industry. Angelica landed her first film set role as an assistant stage manager on Little Women (2019), and from there, her film résumé grew quickly. According to her professional background, she’s held positions such as location assistant, assistant production office coordinator, and assistant location manager on projects including Trigger Warning, Love Lies Bleeding, Stranger Things, and Finch.

One of her proudest milestones? Being promoted within a year from a location assistant to a location manager. She now works primarily as a location scout and production team member for both major studios and independent films.
Her job, however, isn’t always glamorous. As she once shared on Twitter with dry humor, she was scrubbing portable toilets on set when someone recognized her as the “Wicked Tuna girl”—a moment she took in stride with a laugh: “SOMEONE has to clean the shitters.”
Time on Wicked Tuna
Angelica made her Wicked Tuna debut in Season 7, joining her father’s crew aboard Hard Merchandise. She stepped in as a deckhand, taking over the role previously held by her cousin Jay. Later, she also joined the crew of Falcon, the family’s second vessel captained by her father with her brother Joe serving as first mate.
She remained part of the show through 2021, including appearances on the spin-off series Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks. During her time on the show, Angelica quickly proved herself to be skilled, reliable, and unafraid of hard work—even when handling massive bluefin tuna in rough seas.
Her fishing experience wasn’t just for the cameras. As she once noted, “I’ve spent days at a time working in extreme conditions…successfully caught, handled, and processed bluefin tuna with only two other crewmen, fish all weighing between 400 to 1,000 pounds.”
She also used her time on Wicked Tuna to highlight important industry issues. In one tweet, she expressed disappointment that a segment she filmed with TunaLab.org about the health of the fishery wasn’t fully aired: “There was a lot more footage talking about the health of the fishery. I was excited to be able to share that.”
Life After the Show
After her time on Wicked Tuna, Angelica shifted her focus to film production full-time. Based in Brooklyn, New York, she continues to work as a location scout and producer, with credits in a growing list of film and television productions.
While she didn’t receive screen credit for her brief time working on Stranger Things, she shared behind-the-scenes photos as proof of her involvement—adding humorously that she didn’t finish the job but was still proud of her contribution.
Angelica also runs a weekly filmmaker newsletter in NYC and regularly produces networking events to build community among creatives.
Relationship and Personal Life
Despite being in the public eye, Angelica prefers to keep her personal life out of the spotlight. She hasn’t publicly confirmed any relationship status. For now, her focus appears to be on her career and creative work.
And yes—according to her social bio, she does like breakfast.
