The TV Zone

You think it’s easy to become the star of your own TV show? You don’t know the pain it takes. But Buster does. And the star of “MythBusters” now has his inside tale told online in “Behind the Story: Buster.”

The hunk made of junk, the stud who lands with a thud -- Buster hit the top in 2003 as the crash test dummy on Discovery’s sudden-smash “MythBusters.” But as with so many instant celebs, stardom turned Buster’s head. You heard about that stay at the Henry Ford Clinic. Now learn about Buster’s humble beginnings in a mixed family, and the road that led to all that stunt-double-demanding Hollywood behavior.

There’s more -- oh so much more, told in juicy clips, interviews and even bloopers (extras!) -- streaming online in “Behind the Story: Buster.” You'll never look at "MythBusters” quite the same way again.
