At ILM, he bagged the chance to build models for films like “Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace” and “Star Wars: Episode 2 – Attack of the Clones.” There was no looking back for Belleci after he bagged Discovery Channel’s “MythBusters” in 2003, initially to perform behind the scenes and eventually as its co-host.
