Have you seen The Observer?
I'm not talking about a newspaper, I'm talking about the mysterious bald guy on FOX's Fringe.Alert viewers have probably noticed the character on the show. You can often see him lurking in the background, as part of a crowd, or just walking by (as well as other, more obvious scenes). Now the character has made his way off of the show and is lurking about on other FOX shows, including American Idol, NASCAR coverage, even during NFL games.
It's all part of a viral marketing campaign cooked up by the people behind the show and FOX. They even have a code name for it: "Where's Baldo?," though no one from the network will really say there is such a campaign going on (that adds to the mystery, of course). The character (played by actor Michael Cerveris) is going to pop up in other locations as well. Here are a couple of places you may have seen him, on and off the show.
