Who is the real Andy Glass? The Circle star Heather’s catfish’s identity explored

The Circle season 7 contestant Heather Rich used the catfishing route and appeared on the show as her former fling Andy Glass. Netflix's reality show is a social media strategy game where contestants have to set up their profiles on the show's social media platform. They can set up a profile around them and play as their genuine self or they can use someone else's profile on the show.

Either way, The Circle contestants can have to craft an authentic-looking profile and use it to become the top influencer in the game. They can communicate with each other via text and form alliances to cement their position on the reality show.

Andy Glass is a 35-year-old base player from Michigan. Heather used Andy's profile as she knows him very well and presented herself as a "guy who is part of a band". Andy in real life is also part of a band called We Came as Romans.

The Circle star Heather talks about using Andy Glass's profile

The Circle season 7 contestant Heather uploaded a post on September 11 and expressed her feelings about being on the show in the caption. She also explained why she chose to use Andy's profile.

The VIP tour manager then shared that before entering The Circle she had to choose if she wanted to play as herself or as someone else. She decided to enter as a "dude" and explained:

"If you know anything about me, you know I grew up a WWE fan and burp a lot and wear all black and etc. This is a game of first impressions, so I knew my personality and messages would come across more naturally if I catfished as a dude."

Heather then explained that she chose Andy because she already had a bond with him and he was the person who could fully invest himself in this experience with with her. She wrote:

"When choosing the catfish mask I would play the most important thing to me was picking someone who would fully invest themselves in this experience with me. Someone who would do this WITH me, instead of simply just giving me their name + photos. That’s why Andy was the easy choice."
