Man accused of vandalizing George Floyd statue revealed as
‘Parks and Rec’ actor
The 37-year-old skateboarder accused of vandalizing a George Floyd statue in Manhattan’s Union Square Park has reportedly been identified as a small-time actor who once appeared in “Parks and Recreation.”
Micah Beals, 37, was charged with second-degree criminal mischief for allegedly throwing paint on the sculpture around 10:15 a.m. Oct. 3, according to police.
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.
