Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, know to most as the Mythbusters, are branching out from science to fiction television. They are currently working with CBS on a development deal to executive produce a series loosely based on their lives with a twist -they are recruited for covert ops by the CIA! (They would not star in the series,)
According to THR, the idea is plausible and appealing because in real life, Hyneman is a special effects expert with a degree in Russian linguistics who has worked as a certified dive master, wilderness survival expert, boat captain, linguist, animal wrangler and chef.
Savage, an industrial design and special effects designer/fabricator who has also worked as an animator, graphic designer, carpenter, projectionist, toy designer and more. Together they would have just the kind of particular skills the CIA would be looking for.
Basically it would be MacGyver (with a partner) for a new generation - and I'm down for that...
