The Untold Truth Of Tory From MythBusters

Although he first became famous as one of the many co-hosts of MythBusters, Salvatore Paul “Tory” Belleci has been working in the entertainment industry for years. Before he was blowing stuff up on MythBusters, he was doing much of the same on movie sets as he worked in special effects. Belleci has had a hand in quite a few films, from Star Wars to The Matrix.
Thankfully, he has been able to find a good use for his love of explosions, because it almost landed him in jail when he was young. From his personal beliefs to the shows he’s done in recent years, let’s take a look at the untold truth of Tory Belleci from MythBusters.

What was your favorite myth that got busted by the MythBusters?

Wow, as an "untold truth" video, that was surprisingly upbeat, respectful and genuinely nice to watch. Good job :-)

[@JaneDoe-bg9js]

It’s the same for all the mythbusters

[@timothyhayes9724]

Same reaction. I thought "oh no, not a terrible truth about a myth busters" but this was so heartwarming

Ok, but did he used to ride bmx, or did he really have no business trying to hop over that red wagon?

[@happyveliz]

He had no business, but that's what makes it most fun sometimes. Lol it wasn't even a proper bike to even TRY bunnyhopping on xD

[@wolfsokaya]

The poor Purrari got sued. "Damaging the image of the brand Ferrari." The biggest damage to the brand is that its owned by Fiat,the small car maker. :]

[@billyboots3730]

That and the fact that ferrari doesnt want people to modify their cars. If they can pay for it they should be able to do what they want with it.

[@CaptainLicorice]

Ferrari loves to sue anyone modifying their cars, apparently it hurts their prestige. But suing someone for trying to make the car better in most cases makes them look like a clown

[@megamage911]

The biggest damage to their brands is them being petty assholes.

[@dustinjames1268]

Not to mention Ferrari was mostly about touting their skill in F1. Now Mercedes leaves them in the dust regularly and if it weren't for the FIA constantly making things easy for Ferrari they'd have quit

[@jameson1239]

That’s not even the half of it during the grand tour they wouldn’t allow the Ferrari 458 to be timed when it was driven and they wouldn’t allow the Ferrari la Ferrari to be DRIVEN on the ROAD because they didnt want to pay the second hand depreciation

[@Chief4Army117]

He seems like a cool guy both on and off camera with an impressive resume to back him up as well. Found it surprising he was a devout Christian while most of his co-stars were atheist/non-religious. Interesting video!

[@Wings_of_foam]

He still is a TV presenter. Do you think he acts like this in his real life? You wouldn't know that unless you knew him personally. Yes, he seems like a nice and real dude, but the old phrase, never meet your heroes is still true. The most nice and grounded celebrities can surprise you. I could live without the " devout Christian" you wrote. So being atheist/non-religious makes a bad person? How many of you devout Christians are behaving after your "book" and never sin? Typical Americans to use and hide behind their religion. SMH. BTW, I heard him swear a lot. Real Christians don't do that. Not the "devoted" ones. Give me a break!

[@melkor77751]

​@@Wings_of_foamalright, calm down, buddy. Hence why he wrote "seems", we can never really know a person until we get to spent time with them but from the information that's available it's more LIKELY he's a nice guy than a jackass. Also, him "seeming nice" and him being a devout christian weren't put in the same sentence. The OP thought he SEEMED nice from the info presented on the video AND he/she found it was surprising he was a devout christian SINCE most of the mythbusters crew were atheistst. 2 opinions that doesn't necessarily have to do woth each other

[@kylesoler4139]

Tori basically comes off as that cool uncle everyone either has or wishes they have.

[@badger129]

I was expecting something like "we found him on the road and took him with us home" this dudes skills really impressed me!

[@jerrybobteasdale]

Just more reasons to like Tori. I always did.

[@brx3649]

Tori seems pretty based. Much respect for anyone unashamed of their faith. FTR I can only (reply) in sub comments because KZbin has shadow banned my comments without notice.

Mythbusters (even with any flaws it had) was an asset to the community. Challenging minds everywhere. Still watch episodes to this day. Wish the crew the best !!!

[@devonboulden2496]

I used to load trailers for a great shipping company. We used to get lots of anvils destined for Odgen Utah. I wish I knew why. Who goes through that many anvils? Although there was the oddest shaped package that was in the shape of a mushroom. Bull Semen. Go figure.

Just because he was in the same restaurant with you, doesn't mean you "had dinner with him".

Glad to know he's still successful. Always seemed like a down to earth guy.

[@patrickokeefe7943]

3:33 is a clip from TJ Hunt's KZbin channel is it not?

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

Wow... I am impressed. We loved Punkin Chunkin, when it was cancelled my son (he was little) wondered why. Mystery solved.

[@1pcfred]

People are just greedy. I live across a field from where Pumpkin Chunkin started. And yeah I'm glad they moved it across town. The ATV accident and lawsuit was the main reason the event died out here but that producer getting hit by the hatch was pretty bad too. Though that was her fault. She wouldn't get off her cellphone. So she wasn't paying attention. The yo-yos that ran the event kind of screwed the finances up themselves too. Something to do with a fencing contract. I forget the details now.

[@yanceytarver5101]

Mythbusters was the coolest show in Discovery, but then they bought on Mr. Belleci and it became downright funny and educational. Tory was the only cat other than Adam Savage who got injured in almost every episode and the mess was funny! on a serious note Tory, Grant (RIP), and Kari bought an air of fun to science that was missing and will be impossible to ever duplicate.

[@1TakoyakiStore]

I'm surprised that you didn't mention that he was on The Build Show with Matt Risinger recently.

[@deeznuts23yearsago]

This time it was a happy untold story I’m now glad to see this video

My brother got to ask him what it was like when he wrecked his bike when he tried to jump it over a wagon! He said he had to go home to his parents covered in bandages! 😂 when his parents saw the episode they said ‘you better not do something that stupid ever again!’ 😂 or something like that! 🤣

The Nyan cat theme holds a dear place in my heart, long story short: the song was stuck on replay after closing because of some bug and it played out loud for a good 20 seconds before i shut everything off.

He was my favorite on mythbusters

[@zanethind]

Let's go a Mythbusters vid

[@Yezpahr]

9:09 Could you guys not have picked a normal head picture? This was obviously cut out of an existing picture where he was standing on the left side on the picture next to somebody who was kneeling. And the focus was on the one(s) who was (were) kneeling.

[@vkillion]

Overall great video. My only complain: "Evidently, Belleci is A-OK with keeping personal matters personal." They then proceeds to dig and find out as much personal stuff they can. I know it's your job, but c'mon on. You acknowledge his private nature, but then intentionally dig for stuff.

[@loser7528]

Oh he worked on the cinematic masterpiece that is scooby doo? Another reason to love the movie

Sad part about purarri is Ferrari sued and won that he had to takeoff his nyan cat wrap even though the car was his and pays off and owned by him. All because ferrari said it made the brand” look bad” Fuck Ferrari. Take your money to Lamborghini. And his friend did not “ invent” nyan cat, the nyan cat meme was ripped from a song called nyan nyan nyan which was by a private producer using hatsune miku. So nyan cat was originally a miku song

[@an0rangutan]

I always wondered how a devout religious person can be friends (close friends, even) with people who are firmly atheist, notably like Adam and Jaimie who are very strongly opposed to religion and theism. *shrug* I guess they just don't talk about it when they're together, but being friends for 20+ years, you have to wonder how that could possibly be.

[@LofiCameron]

Read the bible, Jesus ate and slept with prostitutes,thieves, and murderers. If a devout christian isnt tolerant of others, they arent devout Christians

[@StaffordMagnus]

Probably the fact that mature adults can agree to disagree on a topic and respectfully leave it at that.
