RIP, damn that sucks, and not even a year after another one of the cast also died.

Well, to be fair, for me "Mythbusters" died in 2014. When the Tory, Kari and Grant were fired. And in 2016 the tried to start "White Rabbit"

I used to watch MB all the time. This is truly sad. Many condolences to his family.

This one sucks hard as he was a friend.

For most of the day as news of his death passed through those who knew him the one word that has come up volumes over anything else is "kind." The Grant you saw, from Junkyard Wars, Battlebots, Mythbusters, White Rabbit, his guest appearances and fan builds; the curious Grant, the playful Grant, the problem solving Grant, those were all real. But the kindness...you could know him and never know how deep that kindness went. He was kind when he didn't have to be, he was kind in ways no one would ever see.

I didn't know him as well as others, but we all knew his kindness. He was a beautiful person and the world is better through his example.

That's a shame, he was definitely one of the better cast members.

Mythbusters is partially what got me interested in engineering and the scientific method, so this is really sad. I feel like it's really rare to have such genuinely curious and innovative television personalities these days, and Grant was definitely one of those.

RIP

Mythbusters was one of my favorite shows growing up, and I liked White Rabbit Project as well. I don't know what to say other than RIP.

Mythbusters was one of my favorite shows and Grant was my favorite out of the Build team.

Rest in peace, your brilliant mind inspired a lot of peoples interest in science.

He was my favorite on the show. Such a wonderful man. 2020 is truly the worst year ever

Saw it earlier on Wikipedia this morning; one of the few people I've actually heard of, pop culture-wise.

Then again, today's been dealing us a multi-blow of fuck.
