Following the bust, several media outlets, including The Hill, identified the Manhattan resident as a little known actor whose stage name is Micah Femia.

According to his IMDB page, the actor has appeared in small roles in several short films and TV shows, including as Len in a 2011 episode of the popular mockumentary NBC sitcom.

Beals also faced legal trouble in Washington, DC, during the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill when he was arrested under his stage name for allegedly breaking curfew, according to police records.
