Adam Savage has had the pleasure of going behind the scenes of several films and TV shows. Check out our playlist of videos from those set visits! bit.ly/2YpN8qu

[@alienated6864]

So fricken awesome!! That is so cool. They really made a good choice of putting Adam In as an extra. Because how much he loves these movies. And how much attention he brings about them on KZbin.

[@JimSteinbrecher]

in a different universe, a blood trader with dubious fashion sense has finally fulfilled his dream of briefly appearing on a mythbusting show

[@scootscoot919]

Jim Steinbrecher "briefly" 😂

[@RamosLuis2550]

@@scootscoot919 he probably got blowd up

[@715creeks]

On the Still Untitled Podcast, Adam mentioned how Dave Bautista actually recognized him and asked him where he knew him from. Adam told him Mythbusters and Dave had the biggest smile and shook his hand. Dave told him that his wife is the biggest geek and they both love Mythbusters. So awesome!

[@m0nkeychemicals]

I worked with Dave Bautista on Final Score, he is a lovely guy

[@abeate]

Adam got some "weathering" effect on him..LOL

[@ChuckCanada1]

lol nice

[@aigooboy]

Gives a new meaning for rub and buff.

[@Jemppu]

it's funny someone putting effort to 'weathering' his hands, because somehow I'd imagine that's the 'natural' color for his hands most of the time anyway

[@JAGUART]

They had him stand in a corner and every so often the prop department would dump a pot of cold coffee on him..

[@Qardo]

Well beats his role that he did on Discovery to end up being the Oldest Human in the world. Lol

[@TheGoldSwordSquad]

I love that Adam is always so excited about everything he does

[@megaman161]

Super justified in this one; He's a huuuuge Blade Runner fan.

[@TheGoldSwordSquad]

megaman161 he must have been a little bit disappointed that he wasn't in the actual movie

[@untamedbacon]

I'd argue he only does things he's excited about

[@teehundeart]

Brilliant he is in the short that they filmed, he knew right away that he wasn't going to be in the main feature

[@OklahomaRedneck918]

Zachary Maneja his dick touches the water

[@DevonPalmer98]

Damn Adam getting to live his dream

[@hellcatdave1]

Wet dream.

[@MM-vs2et]

getting weathered?

[@Cordovan]

**Adam getting to live our dreams

[@Cordovan]

Oh daaaaaayum...!

[@NIGHTWULF]

2000jagi lol he means "damn" as in "holy shit"

[@naolmstead]

Wonder how many people will now cosplay as this character at the next Comic Con.

[@EddyKorgo]

Hes appearance has changed three times. Theres some story behind it.

[@Lukemccarthy2011]

**Puts on a bin bag** Adam: "I've been transported into the blade runner universe!"

[@NochSoEinKaddiFan]

That was probably the ideal role for an amateur actor, since it makes perfect sense to be awkward and nervous in that situation ^^

[@david929190]

He has done a movie before

[@slitor]

He and Hynaman actually had a cameo in the move "The Darwin awards"

[@Skip6235]

Anyone notice his costume changes when he goes to makeup?

[@marcpaters0n]

Skip6235 I did, a different jacket and hat. I guess they tried a few outfits but only used the first take.

[@GrimBirthday]

It's obvious as fuck? Unless you're high as fuck?

[@bobbydigital9371]

Who isn't high as fuck watching this?

[@Alia-bc3rc]

Looked better, I think. Love the hoodie.

[@Just_Varick]

most older people i'd imagine.

[@Me1le]

First the expanse, now Blade Runner. It seems adam has made it his mission to appear in all my favorite franchises.

[@Qardo]

Well he was in a Sharma Commercial...long long long long long long time ago.

[@Me1le]

I have no idea what a Sharma is, but now I definitely have to try one.

[@MakeBrooklyn]

Awesome, I'm very jealous!! All three short films were incredible too. What a great way to fill in some of the blanks between the first story and the second without having to start off with some cheesy monologue ;)

[@andrew7955]

What makes the idea of the short films even greater, is that casual viewers (unlike me) don't have to get filled in on the backstory

[@MylonasFilms]

where can I watch these short films?

[@holdmusic_]

Revisiting this video made me appreciate Adam's enthusiasm even more, as well as the skill of the wardrobe person as she picked things out for his initial ensemble. It's so nice to see someone who really knows their stuff have such an undying enthusiasm and joy about the process of filmmaking and world building. Thanks Adam and team!

[@DarthFolo]

With those small glasses and broad shoulders, Dave reminds me if Virgil from Fallout :P

[@bobblehead7002]

"Do you know what you'd be selling?" "I dunno... uh, eyeballs" **reference finger snapping**

[@MrTrollmyr]

Is there a bug om her back.... ?🤔

[@FT59012]

i saw it too

[@Zarsu470]

YES! omg i saw it right away and i am surprised none commented on the video postprod with like an arrow or something D_D

[@DJJAW11]

Indeed, and i think it seemed to move some, each time, it was noted :)

[@EthanfromEngland-]

looks like a cricket or something, aint going to kill her xD

[@aerys0661]

I think it's a roach

[@justcral]

Adam looking like a ghetto Rebel Soldier on Endor xD

[@marktasico]

How To: Dress Like Kanye West

[@1neohm]

A lot of the wardrobe did seem heavily inspired by and taken from milsurp, so yes, this look would fall in line with yeezy season 3 or 4 aesthetically speaking

[@TheNZJester]

If so he stole his look from the original Blade Runner then as this was inline with some of the look from the original.

[@jjsculpting4176]

Stole? I think you mean inspired. Everyone use some sort of referance, so you can't find a design that isn't inspired by something.

[@thenonameboy5]

Kanye is a big cyberpunk fan in general, just look at his Stronger video clip. Straight from Akira.

[@RedFeatheredRaven]

So happy for you! Like anyone who has watched your videos, I know how much Blade Runner means to you, and I am glad you have given all us fans this chance to live vicariously through you.

[@TheRealMythril]

That was a pretty good part Adam got in Expanse series 2 finale! Well Jel! Now Bladerunner! Dang boy!

[@NewMessage]

Totally missed him in that. Wonder if I would have noticed if he had the glasses on?

[@tomobarker]

I don't even remember that scene.

[@Erilis000]

I think they cut it... ? I don't remember it either

[@tuxedopig7940]

New Message lol dat icon is same as mine boi

[@reddishcat1]

can't remember either

[@VonDelacroix]

Its not from the movie, as he said, its from one of the prequel shorts, they're on youtube.

[@lisabearsley1715]

I love how you get so much joy from everything you do. It's one of the reasons I follow what you do.

[@danielvaz_]

Adam is living the dream! Awesome!

[@crispy9566]

goddamn there's a huge bug on her back

[@RobinK]

1:54 for those who missed it.

[@Malfehzan]

It's moving around, it's not lint.

[@NIGHTWULF]

Derek Dincer lol watch in HD you can clearly see its a small cockroach

[@mattrutter9199]

Jumps off at 2:25

[@bundeewaje790]

It's a stink bug lol shits are mad annoying

[@kennyward5252]

Anyone notice the roach on the back of her sweater the whole time she was dressing him

[@itsstico]

yea that was bad.

[@NIGHTWULF]

wtf lol i didnt even notice

[@cannabinoman]

I thought it was grasshopper

[@NIGHTWULF]

Jim Heeren its not a grasshopper lol

[@LionsDenGaming1]

its a large aphid not a roach

[@ChuckCanada1]

Adam that was awesome, thanks for making these videos! Cheers from Canada to all the Tested team!

[@twistedsymphony]

with his part on the Expanse and now this... Adam needs to be an extra on every Sci-Fi show/movie... it's like a really great Easter egg.

[@lintine2136]

How haven't I seen this until now?! I watched all the shorts when they came out and didn't even realise it was adam. Jeez, must be a solid actor...

[@JohanRoman]

Congratulations Adam! Love how worried your character looked, GREAT!

[@arleyramos]

I can tell that this man is having the time of his life. Such amazing experience. Happy for you.

[@dpcquak]

Feels so good to see someone SO GENUINELY happy and excited!

[@FlamingAtheist]

I think its so lovely that adam is always living his dreams and being happy as can be with what hes doing. Even cooler is that he got to be in a movie of one of his all time favorite universes!

[@NochnMicha]

Now he can cosplay himself at the next con :-D.

[@kylewolfe_]

I was just telling someone the other day that I wished they would've had Adam Savage as a cameo in the new Blade Runner! So happy he got a spot in this short, seeing this video made my day.

[@SammeLagom]

What an honor! Im happy for you man!

[@matesandorzalan960]

I'm Hungarian and I'm glad to hear the guy next to Adam yelling at him in Hungarian, at around 5:14 in the video. He said "Menjen már el innen!" which is basically "Get out of here!" in English. Nice homage to Edward James Olmos and his famous Hungarian frases from the first Blade Runner film.

[@ShinKyuubi]

Always good to see Adam having fun and getting to do things he's always dreamed of doing. His energy and excitement was one of the main draws of Mythbusters for me when it first started and it's good to see his excitement for things he enjoys hasn't dulled a bit. The new hosts of the new Mythbusters have some VERY large boots to fill after Adam and Jamie's long run.

[@tribaltalon1]

Being an extra is so much fun. I've been an extra in a couple of tv shows and movies that were large productions, and it is truly fascinating watching the whole process at work. It can truly suck sometimes doing a take over... and over... and over... all freaking day but it's still worth it. I wish I could go back and do it again but unfortunately I don't have the flexibility in my job that I used to have.

[@LiunaTiger]

I totally agree on this! I've been an extra for some time now. Although some shootings can have worse atmospheres sometimes. But it's usually interesting overall. It's also fun you meet familiar faces later on (even from the crew like the dressers) and also if the movie is out, you can see the result (and maybe even yourself too). I was also in this one, it was long, but interesting (landfill scene where people get attacked with rockets). kzbin.info/www/bejne/boLZe5Sgi89lbtk

[@williamhayden7711]

I have to say Adam did a great job. I didn't notice him the first time I watched and having focused in on him this time around I have to say he melted into the scene expertly well. Well done.

[@ekij133]

Good that we got to see the clip from the final film. Really helps us to understand.

[@PaynE_PaynE]

Fantastic, Adam. I'm really happy for you! Congratulations!

[@russproctor9267]

Sweet. Adam you always make me smile man.

[@lukesbacon]

Adam, what can I say, spectacular performance! That's so cool, you blended in so well I didn't notice you when I went to see it on Monday! I'll be looking out for you when I inevitably see it again!

[@Vanxerd]

It's nice to see Adam being a fan and the best part of it; living the dream.

[@terrythompson2890]

Beaming. That was awesome! So happy for you. Very cool!

[@rikvdmark]

Super stoked to see you living your dream!

[@philipiscoolful]

What effort for only 10 seconds role, and there was a whole group there, much respect to those people

[@douglasreeves9938]

What I like about Adam is he seems to have so much fun, no matter what he is doing.

[@YoungBowieLover]

I'm so proud of Adam!!!

[@knlacrosse]

I love the casual insect just chilling on her back.

[@Jerkabobber]

That's so awesome Adam, congrats dude!

[@thomsonelite]

I am so happy for you Adam !

[@sporktar]

Adams excitement is infectious

[@kb7rky]

You did great, Adam! Well done!

[@DoctorX17]

I was an extra in a zombie movie, so I can tell you that a few seconds on screen in the background is worth however many hours you're standing around and getting prepped and all... But being in something Blade Runner related has to be 100000x as cool as a little indie movie.

[@TheHengeProphet]

I actually have to say the acting on Adam's part was quite fantastic! I had to re-watch that a couple times to realize what was going on, and even then it felt like a perfect clandestine sale. Well done, and congratulations!

[@comments.are.turned.off...]

I bet everyone on set was going "OMFG, thats THE guy from Mythbusters!!!.

[@curtischase9197]

You can tell Adam was rocking full chub. Glad you got to have a part in a sequel to one of your favorite movies 👍

[@cherryfan0016]

Super excited!!!! Can't wait to see the full short. Really wish you coulda been in the actual movie.

[@chuffpup]

The Morrocan pipes playing in the background was a nice touch, made me think of Burroughs, who incidentally,invented the term Bladerunner.

[@thegaryjay_yt]

I think I was as excited for you - if not more excited - than you were. It's contagious!

[@Shooterman1914]

I think if anyone deserves a chance to play an extra in the new Blade Runner, it's Adam. Congratulations dude!

[@TheGreatMunky]

That's awesome. Congrats, man!

[@marvluebke]

Good for you man :D This is amazing

[@liamtoole]

Can't believe I didn't recognize Adam in the final product! He was RIGHT THERE.

[@TorrentsNicolas]

I'm so happy Adam got to be part of his favorite universe and also mine.

[@mirisepulveda9605]

this is so cool! when i watched the short i was surprised of the comercial blood bag concept, i didn't recognize you! now watching ur video i do! such an amazing experience i'm so glad for you...

[@Girichoko]

Congratz, man. That was super cool!!!!

[@Winterforged]

I think what I've always liked about Adam is he knows exactly how lucky he is to be doing this stuff. That grin on his face when they finished adjusting his garbage bag says it all.

[@JonathanTaulbee]

So happy for you Adam! What a day!

[@hi-friaudioman]

This was so unbelieveably awesome! Way to go Adam!!

[@kyleashley]

im always excited watching him being excited about exciting stuff.

[@xMcStarley]

Proud of you Adam, living the dream :) Congrats

[@mcwatchy1]

way to go Adam! i noticed your character the first time i saw the short, the only way i would have noticed it was you was if they let you keep the glasses on. way to go man. Bladerunner is an excellent franchise.

[@dufsgarage]

I’ll live vicariously through Adam.

[@MisterRedBird]

Adam savage now officially part of the blade runner universe

[@tomshore3788]

Congrats on getting to be in the short film, Adam. As always I love your sheer fanboyishness with all things Blade Runner.

[@T0BBi94]

Im so happy for Adam this was amazing! :D

[@thomashverring9484]

That's straight outta a Moebius comic!

[@henryd98]

That was kind of a Blade Runner cosplay tutorial

[@peteman1000]

Dangit I wish I had seen this before I saw the movie yesterday. Very cool that you got to be in it Adam!

[@martinlagrange8821]

That was awesome ! Another good reason to see Bladerunner 2049, for sure.

[@roveism]

Thats awesome!!!!! Didn't see Adam, now I have to go watch it again.

[@danielfollman7148]

You KNOW someone will now cosplay as this character.

[@Trishlicious]

I will now have to go back to the theatre and keep my eye on that scene! :) Congrats.

[@Fuzzietech]

Big Gratz on the cameo Adam, you so deserve it! :-)

[@justintylerlee585]

I've watched that scene a few times now, It was in the trailers but I never noticed you before Adam. It's either your awesome acting skills or the lack of your iconic glasses.

[@dpj670]

Didn't know you were in this! Gonna have to re-watch!

[@fengzhao8978]

Watched this clip, didn't know you were in it. Awesome

[@n6yun]

We live our geek life through you Adam good job

[@JacobCacho]

Oh snap! Im going to have to watch this short, just to see Adam

[@Disciple0fMetal]

Wow I totally missed that! Gonna have to go rewatch it

[@chrislindsey1278]

Fantastic Adam, congratulations

[@andwhatsnew]

Best incognito, I didn't even realized he was right there.

[@kbahrami346]

Ha, now I gotta go back and re-watch the short! Nice overview vid!

[@mikelastname9444]

I's nice to see that somebody who has basically had his own show for ten years still geeks out about a few minutes of screen time on a set he likes

[@ShotgunAU]

Well done Adam, kudos dude!

[@diegom-a7970]

I love Adam's joy

[@elevenstar]

I'm jealous. But in a positive way and I am pleased for Mr. Savage for this extraordinary experience. Great!

[@markb276]

Actually annoyed with myself for not spotting Adam in this. Lucky, lucky man. Awesome :-)
