GRANT IMAHARAGrant was one of the hosts of Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters. Before that, he spent nine years as an animatronics engineer and model maker for George Lucas’s Industrial Light and Magic.
 
Grant worked on many blockbusters including the Matrix sequels, Galaxy Quest, Terminator 3, and Star Wars: Episodes 1-3 (although he was not responsible for Jar-Jar). He put the lights in R2-D2’s dome and gave the Energizer Bunny his beat. Grant created the often rude and irreverent robot skeleton sidekick for late night talk show host Craig Ferguson.
 
Sadly, Imahara passed away in July 2020. Please watch our tribute to him here.
