Who is Adam Savage?

Born Adam Whitney Savage on the 15th July 1967, in New York City, USA, he is a special effects designer, educator, actor and television personality, probably best known to the world as the co-host of the highly acclaimed reality TV show “MythBusters” (2003-2018), next to Jamie Hyneman. He also appeared in the reality series “Unchained Reaction” (2012).

Early Life, Family, and Education

Adam is the son of Karen and Whitney Lee Savage, both of whom were previously married, and as a result he has four half-siblings as well as a younger sister, Kate, who is an artist. His father was a painter, animator and filmmaker who is well-known for his work on the highly popular children’s show “Sesame Street”; his work has been permanently exhibited in the Avampato Discovery Museum in Charleston, West Virginia.

At an early age, Adam started visiting bike shops as he had problems with flat tyres; as his trips became frequent he started learning from bike mechanics which resulted in him becoming interested in mechanics, the beginning of his interest in building stuff.

As his father was already involved in the entertainment world, young Adam followed in his footsteps, and joined “Sesame Street” as Heathcliff, voicing the character between 1978 to 1980. Meantime Adam attended Sleepy Hollow High School, from which he matriculated in 1985, but didn’t pursue education further, although he eventually received an honorary doctorate from the University of Twente (Enschede, Netherlands) thanks to his contribution to science and technology.

Career Beginnings

Although becoming a voice actor at an early age of five, he would later continue his career in the entertainment industry by appearing in various commercials, music videos, and other small roles. As an adult, he decided to continue his work backstage, as he got more enjoyment from making things; in particular, he became expert at creating special effects, making graphic designs and assisting in animation.

Rise to Prominence

Adam found a place for himself as a special effects guy on such films as “Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones”, then “The Matrix Reloaded” and several others, which steadily improved his popularity. He also appeared in a few films, including “Ever Since the World Ended” in 2001 as an Engineer. In 2003 he was approached by Peter Press and Australia’s Beyond Television Productions, to co-star in the scientific documentary reality series “MythBusters”, next to Jamie Hyneman, who is also a special effects expert. The series premiered on the 23rd January 2003, and the two original Mythbusters remained in the show until 6th March 2016.

Through the extreme popularity of the show, Adam and Jamie have become global stars. In the series, Adam and Jamie used scientific method elements to test the validity of rumors, movie scenes, myths, Internet videos and news stories. They launched the second team of Mythbusters, known as The Build Team, comprised of Grant Imahara, Torrey Belleci and Kari Byron who made-up myths on their own, but also helped Adam and Jamie. The show aired for 282 episodes before its cancelation in 2016.
