From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salvatore "Tory" Belleci (born October 30, 1970 in Monterey, California) is a film maker and model maker. He is best known for his work on the Discovery Channel television program MythBusters. He has also worked with Industrial Light and Magic on films such as The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. The Federation battleships and podracers are some of Tory's pieces. He attended San Francisco State University. Tory worked on the Matrix trilogy, Van Helsing, Peter Pan, Starship Troopers, Galaxy Quest and Bicentennial Man.
He is often considered by fellow MythBusters Kari Byron and Grant Imahara to be more of a daredevil and as such often performs the more dangerous stunts when testing a myth. These have included testing the Red Flag to a Bull myth and testing the myth that a humans tongue will instantly stick to a frozen pole in the Snow Special Episode. As a result of this, he is often involved in comical accidents whilst testing myths, although none to date have caused lasting injuries.
