Net worth of Adam Savage, personal life, career, education, wife, biography

Adam Savage is a master of many trades who began his career in his early childhood, working for his father’s show, ‘Sesame Street’. Savage was considered a child prodigy for being involved in different acting assignments. He even had formal training as an actor, but it was graphic design that inspired him. He made a few theatrical appearances before quitting acting, then began to focus on creating special effects for films. Adam previously worked as an educator, teaching students to make models and anchored in a number of television shows.

However, the most notable work from the tech geeks came in the form of “MythBusters,” a show on Discovery Channel with the perfect blend of tech and action. The show provided him with the platform to test the truth behind the various scenarios presented in films using science. To learn more about Savage’s work, please keep reading.

ADAM SAVAGE: EARLY CHILDHOOD, EDUCATION

Adam Savage was born on July 15, 1967, in New York City to animator/filmmaker Whitney Kee Savage and Karen, a psychotherapist. Savage is a proud American and is ethnically white. He grew up in a family of six children, including four older children from his parents’ previous marriages. Adam’s younger sister, Kate, is also a talented artist. Later, the siblings followed in their father’s footsteps, pursuing careers in the field of art.

Adam completed his elementary school from Sleepy Hollow High School in 1985. He was a talented artistic kid who always loved to play. After the 5 years of acting school, he started voicing animated characters his father was working on for Sesame Street. During this period, he even worked for a toilet paper advertisement. Later, he got a small role in Billy Joel’s music video, “You are Only Human.”

ADAM SAVAGE: A CAREER AWAY FROM THE ACTION

By the time Savage turned 19, he discovered his passion was lying elsewhere. So he decided to quit acting and gave graphic design a shot and what a big decision that turned out to be for him. To name just a few of his jobs, Savage has worked as an animator, graphic designer, film developer, and the list could go on. Savage was a modeler for the movies Galaxy Quest, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, The Matrix Reloaded, and more.

Adam then worked for a Discovery Channel show, ‘MythBusters’. With his co-host, he tries to refute or confirm myths through scientific experiments that are done on different scales. Unlike Jamie Hyneman’s more reserved straight persona, Savage’s demeanor is lively and energetic. It is one of the most successful TV shows that deals with science and it continues to inspire and teach generations to find the real answer behind the myths. He even received an honorary doctorate from the University of Twente for his contribution to the popularization of science and technology.
