No, that's not the lead singer of Jimmie's Chicken Shack all grown up. It's Harley Breite and according to the documentary film website WhoIsHarley.com, he "is a 51 year-old criminal defense attorney in Paterson, NJ. He lives with his mom, is a big Rocky fan and is passionate about fighting."
Turns out the hair is just a teaser. Here's the trailer for the movie about his quest to win the love of a woman by taking an MMA fight in Brazil. Early in the trailer Breite says, "I represent the most despised people in society."
The film was supposed to premier at Tribeca in 2020, but was pushed back to 2021. Now that he's represented Fairlamb and the Internet has taken notice of him, a wider release shouldn't be far behind.
