ImageWho else would think about sex while lying in a coffin? Why, it's Jamie Hyneman, Co-Host of Mythbusters! If it's wacky gadgets and robots you want, Jamie is your man! (well technically not, ladies he's happily married!)

M5 Industries, a gigantic warehouse packed with incomplete puppets, aging movie props and metal beams, is Jamie's work haven- he and his crew have worked on more than 800 commercials for clients such as Hershey's and Levi Strauss & Co., and they've also designed action figures and toys.
 
Top U.S. production companies go to M5 Industries when unusual or problematic props need to be fabricated, especially if they involve animatronics or robotics. They even designed the spiders for the movie Arachnophobia - how cool is that?

Not only is Jamie a whiz with parts and gadgets, but he's also a wilderness survival expert, boat captain, diver, linguist, animal wrangler, machinist and a chef! Multi-talent is sexy, ain't it? Says Jamie of the gadget-making process: "I breathe a sigh of relief when I know it looks right and people are going to dig it,"

A little known fact about Jamie - he was born in Marshall, Michigan!

And we dig you Jamie!
