Fans mistake Wyatt Russell lookalike for actor in LA protest video

A video from the recent anti-ICE protests in LA caused confusion online after viewers wrongly identified actor Wyatt Russell as the man confronting authorities in the clip. The clip, which shows a person delivering a passionate speech to armed authorities during the demonstrations, led many online to believe it was the Thunderbolts actor. However, Russell’s representative confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that the person in the footage is not him and that they’ve been working to correct the confusion.

The person seen in the video is actually Aaron Fisher, a partner at Statecraft Media, a digital media firm that supports progressive political campaigns. In the video, Fisher is seen confronting officers, accusing them of following unconstitutional orders. He warns them they are “on the wrong side of history.” Fisher also added, “We know you got a job to do, but you took an oath to the Constitution, not to the fascists in the White House.”

Speaking about the mixup, Fisher said he found it “pretty humorous” and was glad that the attention helped spread the message of the protest. He said, “The deployment of the National Guard against the wishes of our Governor is dangerously un-American, and I will continue to peacefully protest in my community.”

The protests started after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted raids in Latino neighborhoods of Los Angeles, including a clothing warehouse downtown. Demonstrations reportedly escalated over the weekend and into Monday, especially after President Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops to the city.
