Jamie Hyneman, played by Jamie Hyneman
Jamie has a lot of talents: wilderness survival expert, boat captain, diver, linguist, animal wrangler, machinist and chef, to name a few. He worked for years making special effects for shows and commercials, and he has a lot of experience.
Jamie is the smartest member of the team, and you can see that at every moment and thing he does, going from his effective designs and machines to his calm attitude when he has to face the difficult situations that take place during the show.
Adam got in the show thanks to Jamie. Hyneman met Adam several years before in a toy industry, and they became really good friends. Jamie was fascinated by Adam's skills when it came the time to do the hard work. Years after, Jamie was contacted by Discovery Channel to make a new show called MythBusters. He knew that he wasn't able to handle the show alone, so he called Adam.
Adam and Jamie make an almost perfect team. While Adam does the hard work, Jamie makes the awesome designs of the machines. They are really good friends and they usually work together without problems.
It's important to mention that even if they are very good friends, Jamie usually argues with Adam. Most times, Jamie is right and he almost never loses his calm attitude against the tough situation, so he forgets about the arguments soon. Jamie is considerably more mature than Adam and deals with the problems easily. Besides this small arguments, Jamie doesn't have problems with Adam and they never have a strong fight nor hurt the feelings of the other.
Jamie usually competes against Adam, and he almost always wins. This is mainly for two reasons: Jamie's designs are more simple, effective and cheap and Jamie never cheats.
The simplicity of Jamie's artifacts can be easily appreciated. While Adam builds a complex "levitation machine" which consists in a chair tied to wood platforms with propellers and engines to make the air blow, Jamie takes a surf board, adds plastic to it and puts some leaf-cleaner vacuums.
In few words, Jamie is the smart, experienced one who designs the artifacts but doesn't work as much as Adam to build them. |
