Who is the guy being interviewed by Fuse in Washington Square Park last week? I *think* I know, but would like some outside opinions...

Macklemore?

Here is a photo of him with the same pose...

Response by poster: Great - thank you. That's who I was thinking it was, but wasn't sure. I just walked up and shot the photo and only later did it occur to me that I really didn't know who I had photographed.

Huh. That dude does not look like Macklemore to me, just has similar hair and is a white dude of the approximate age. Interesting!

Response by poster: Any other possible identities for this guy are totally welcome. Macklemore fits the mold of someone who'd be interviewed by Fuse, but there are certainly many others that I'm sure I'm unaware of!

I'm 95% sure that's not Macklemore. Just has similar hair, like 6764 other dudes in NYC. On preview, seconding the notion.

My guess is FUSE is just doing a random dude-on-the-street check-out-this-video type thing.

Compare the ear lobes between Flickr and calgirl's link (or the bigger picture at the bottom of this article, right before the comments). I don't think it's Macklemore.

Yeah, their ears are different in several ways. The person in Washington Square Park also has more rounded ears. So that can't be Macklemore.

I think it would be easier to find out the guy's identity if you knew who was interviewing him -- I did a quick search and could not find a list of Fuse TV correspondents. Freelancers would be even more difficult to find and maybe that is an assistant producer?

Find out who did the interview and then search for them or contact them.

Nth not Macklemore.

You know, you might be discouraging people from answering by leaving the incorrect "best answer" up. People aren't going to click through when they see the green checkmark on the front page.

Hey, isn't this the same jacket?
