Adam Savage :: Character Guides

In simple words, Adam makes stuff and does the dirty job. He builds everything: exploding toilets, tree cannons, levitation machines, "Archimedes death rays", boats...

Even if he doesn't show the same finesse that Jamie has, Adam does an awesome job when he has to make something "big". He is usually the man that has to build the heavy stuff, such as the "Death Ray".

Adam is very competitive with Jamie. He always wants to be better than him, but his designs are too complicated and his machines usually don't work, unless Jamie designs them and he builds them.

Savage often plays the role of the funny one. Jamie is often considered funny too, but it's clear that Adam is a lot funnier than him. Adam is also a lot more spontaneous, making funny a show that could be very boring.

Adam usually argues with Jamie. However, since he has less experience he usually makes mistakes and he doesn't recognize them until his argument is over, so he often loses and does what Jamie wants to do. Usually, he is who gets angry with Jamie, not vice-versa.

Adam clearly has less experience than Jamie and that makes him look bad sometimes.
