MythBusters' Bio: The Mythbusters are the popular dynamic duo of Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, who in addition to being science entertainers and special effects wizards, have become pop culture icons. They are also the main co-hosts of the hugely popular science entertainment "Mythbusters," created and produced by Beyond Television Productions for the Discovery Channel. Since the show's premiere in January of 2003, Jamie and Adam have graced the TVs of millions every week through more than 200 episodes. Each week the duo, along with fellow science stars Tory Belleci, Kari Byron, Grant Imahara and their trusty crash-test-dummy-sidekick Buster, test popular myths and urban legends through hilarious and educational experiments of science, physics and more. Due to their immense popularity and public appeal, Jamie and Adam are now available for corporate events and private functions.

Jamie Hyneman:
Hailing from Indiana farm country, JAMIE HYNEMAN is a multifaceted man: He's been a wilderness survival expert, boat captain, diver, linguist, animal wrangler, machinist and cook, to name but a few.

Jamie earned a degree in Russian languages and ran a sailing/diving charter business in the Caribbean for several years before he moved over to the visual-effects industry. After working for several special-effects companies, Jamie found his way to Colossal Pictures' model shop, where he managed the production of models and special effects for hundreds of commercials and movies. Then, 18 years ago, Jamie took over the shop and created M5 INDUSTRIES INC.

Jamie has worked on more than 800 commercials for major automobile manufacturers, soft-drink companies, athletic shoes and numerous other products. And in the midst of all this activity, Jamie's company diversified into toy prototyping and research and development in a variety of other areas as well. The holder of several patents and the winner of numerous industry awards, Jamie is also a long-standing Screen Actors Guild member.

Today, while MythBusters occupies the majority of Jamie's professional activity, M5 is actively developing cutting edge technologies for a variety of industries, ranging from defense to green vehicle design.

Adam Savage:
ADAM SAVAGE has spent his life gathering skills that allow him to take what's in his brain and make it real. He's built everything from ancient Buddhas to futuristic weapons, from spaceships to dancing vegetables, from fine art sculptures to animated chocolate — and just about anything else you can think of.

The son of a filmmaker/painter and a psychotherapist, Adam has been making his own toys since he was allowed to hold scissors. Having held positions as a projectionist, animator, graphic designer, carpenter, interior and stage designer, toy designer, welder, and scenic painter, he's worked with every material and in every medium he could fathom — metal, paper, glass, plastic, rubber, foam, plaster, pneumatics, hydraulics, animatronics, neon, glassblowing, mold-making and injection molding to name just a few.

Since 1993, Adam was concentrated on the special effects industry, honing his skills through more than 100 television commercials and a dozen feature films, including Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Galaxy Quest, Terminator 3, A.I. and the Matrix sequels. He's also designed props and sets for Coca-Cola, Hershey's, Lexus and a host of New York and San Francisco theater companies.

Not only has he worked and consulted in the research and development division for toy companies and made several short films, but Adam has also acted in several films and commercials — including a Charmin ad, in which he played Mr. Whipple's stock boy, and a Billy Joel music video, "Second Wind," in which he drowns.

Today, in addition to co-hosting MythBusters, Adam teaches, lectures and consults on a variety of topics to students, business folks and everyday Joes. Somehow he also finds time to devote to his own art — his SCULPTURES have been showcased in over 40 shows in San Francisco, New York and Charleston, West Virginia. … Read more
