Who is Brian Clark pretending to be in The Circle season 5? Details explored

Brian Clark is one of the 12 contestants joining the cast of The Circle season 5 and will catfish others by pretending to be his daughter Brittney. Brian is a single father based in Portland, Oregon, and is one of the five players appearing on the show with a fake persona.

Just like in the previous seasons, the contestants won't be able to meet each other in person and will chat with each other to form strong bonds, making Brian Clark's job of fooling others easier. After each week, players will have to rank each other on the basis of their popularity, and the contestant with the least amount of votes will be eliminated.

In his Netflix introductory video, Brian says:

"I'll be using my skills to root out all the catfish, except for one person, me!"

Not much is known about Brian Clark, but according to his Instagram account, he is a digital content creator and often travels across the world with his girlfriend, Amber. He has been to many countries like Spain, Costa Rica, and Belgium and is a self-described 'Circle Zaddy' and 'dad-fluencer.'
