His father was a famous animator and film-maker, who worked on the television series “Sesame Street” (1969–2000), so Adam had an early introduction to the industry, and in fact became a child actor when just five years old, voicing characters featured in “Sesame Street” (1969 – 2000), and appearing in various commercials, music videos and other small roles. As an adult, he decided to continue his work just on the other side of the stage, as he got more enjoyment from making things, in particular he became really good at creating special effects, making graphic designs and assisting in animation, and these added significant amounts to the overall size of Adam Savage’s net worth.

Quote
1 I have concluded through careful empirical analysis and much thought that someone is looking out for me, keeping track of what I think of things, forgiving me when I do less than I ought, giving me strength to shoot for more than I think I’m capable of. I believe they know everything I do and think, and they still love me, and I’ve concluded, after careful consideration, that this person keeping score is me.
2 I am a champion of one notch above mediocrity.
3 [his reaction to being caught in a flash fire where he lost an eyebrow and some of his arm hair] Am I missing an eyebrow?
4 That’s the show. It’s like 4 minutes of science and then 10 minutes of me hurting myself.
5 My advice is keep your lips away from the spinning things.
6 My dignity and good television – they’ll never meet.
7 I wouldn’t say Jamie [Hyneman] is an evil genius. I’m not sure he’s evil and I’m not sure he’s a genius.
8 I reject your reality and substitute my own.
