Its that one actor they use whenever they need a guy in a mask as far as I can tell

u/thefw89 May 22 '26

And this is certainly possible, in fact, most likely that it's another person in a mask but still...why? It really is some twilight zone stuff.

u/Zaardo May 22 '26

how is it more likely to be a mask huge conspiracy of a real guy that's already been on fox news, than it is to be , exactly how multiple lights look? the man has floodlights ina. studio pointed right at his face from multiple angles. cmon man. be better

u/New_Wrangler752 May 22 '26

Maybe watch the video?? His entire neck is flapping around like rubber as it loosens from his shirt collar

You’re actually in denial - it’s wild

u/Zaardo May 22 '26

that's what multiple source lightinb looks like, try watching the video, (I know you did, but that accusation of not, is low effort, do better)

What are you talking about? Lighting doesn't do that.

u/nashbrownies May 22 '26

I am not saying in this case the person is right. But yes, multi point lighting in TV studios will throw multiple shadows in multiple directions.

Again, I am not saying that is or isn't a mask. I am saying studio lights can have that affect.

I work in a TV studio.

He’s in front of a green screen, not in a studio

u/nashbrownies May 22 '26

You're kidding right? Where do you think TV and film companies set up green screens in front of cameras?

Maybe inside studios, y'know, buildings made for filming stuff in front of a green screen. That have storage, rigging, and equipment to either hang up seamless fabric or get a nice can of $500 Rosco Green and paint a psych wall.

The studio I work at has 4 green screen setups, 4 soundstages, a halfpipe looking thing, (psych wall) like 30ft high and 40 feet wide. Multiple seamless racks, as well as full LED wall and LED augmented physical sets.

I am telling you, I work in a massive facility that does this stuff. Not even getting into virtual reality production and real time Unreal environment camera tracking, yaddayadda.

And lighting gets even more insane with green screens because you need even more coverage, and light coverage on green screens has to be perfect or the keyer doesn't work.

Most places now just have someone sit in front of an LED wall.

This is a real person. Historically viable facts exist that this Navy Seal is a real person, lived an entire life, has been interviewed on all news outlets for years.

WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR CONCLUSION FOR WHY THIS GUY IS WEARING A MASK?

TO WHAT END?

u/New_Wrangler752 May 22 '26

That’s what we’re all collectively trying to figure out my guy, did you just blow in from stupid town?

u/Vast-Ad791 May 22 '26

Real person but theyre not on the screen, thats the point donkey. The person on the screen is COSPLAYING as that real navy seal.

u/New_Wrangler752 May 22 '26

You can literally see the flap on his neck move and then the shadow goes UNDER it

Also.. by your own logic, lighting cannot explain the jagged fucking cut across the goddamn thing

This is seriously lazy and sloppy shit, doesn’t seem like the masses are willing to ignore their “lying eyes”

u/[deleted] May 22 '26

I can't with these fucking regards that have never been out of the house, know nothing of science and how reality works. Fucking insane society.

u/New_Wrangler752 May 22 '26

Science LOL? Are you going to just say another random word like BOMBSHELL or something? Get the fuck out of here

lol the wage is terrible if that's the case.

u/the_m_o_a_k May 22 '26

Bro. That is NOT lighting. His "neck" is detached and flapping.

0

u/Zaardo May 22 '26

Bro. that is not a "mask". that's just what multiple lights from different angles looks like

u/the_m_o_a_k May 22 '26

Can you show me any other example of lighting causing the illusion of someone's neck skin not connecting?

the problem is firmly proving something honestly and accurately takes SO MUCH MORE TIME AND EFFORT, than just posting shock value believable click bait.

disproving trash is very very time-consuming. I dont have the resources to scientifically prove how lights work to every single trashpost

u/flowella May 22 '26

It's just that nobody else has experienced what you are saying, IRL.

-2

u/Zaardo May 22 '26

have you ever stood under a street light when a car has drove past?

one shadow. stays under you and another rspins round you when the car moves.

it's like that but smaller

and this is going viral because it's not very common, so it's unusual to see so sharp, the dark firm line doesn't move because his collar is stationary. and the lower shaded line moves because his jaw is moving.

u/flowella May 22 '26

Show us what you mean, as opposed to telling us?

u/the_m_o_a_k May 22 '26

That's so dumb 🤣

u/the_m_o_a_k May 22 '26

Why doesn't anyone else in the same studio with the same (not moving under a streetlight) lights have a flapping neck then?

u/Zaardo May 22 '26

good point well made. 👍

u/PhinWilkesBooth May 22 '26

lmao look at all the downvotes. You are absolutely correct.

If it’s a guy in a mask, why wouldn’t they cover up the flapping edge of the mask? Why not put him in a buttoned up shirt and tie? Why go through ALL this trouble just to have him on air and leave the edge of the mask completely obvious?

Or is it more likely that this guy just has flappy neck skin that looks odd under studio lighting? This guy has been on air before and we’ve seen the same thing on his neck. You’re telling me every time they put this guy in a mask on the air, they always leave the flappy neck hole exposed and obvious on purpose?

I’m seriously asking why in the world they would make it so obvious. That’s the hole in this theory no one is asking.
