A the very least it is an interesting coincidence. Looks similar to me.

Et tu, uh, Jug?? You can see the huge jutting chin on Tom's guy is nowhere to be seen on the guy from the tape. Plus, the noses look significantly different.

Lostpedia & IMBd state that "Meet Kevin Johnson" was Arturo's (Francesco Simone) 1st known television appearance.

I have not commited myself to either one. If I had to vote I would say not the same person. But of everything I have been reading of late, it was one of the more sane theories.

I completely agree with Juggy on this.

Make A LOT of sense to me... Perhaps even it's intended to be used as a tool for Ben deal with Tom. AND Widmore interrogating him is very logical if Arturo is really the guy on the tape.

And if MangoBingo is right, what can we take about Ben telling him was one of his men? Really, In the Hotel the poor guy doesn't appear to be an Other.

Edit:

Oh, too bad. Would be a good twist.

Smokey turned into Locke. That gave him the power of being always right. Hence he is the good one, winner of game and everything else for now on.

Okay, I see what you mean. Didn't mean to accuse.

The operative word here is "known".  Smiley

I'm not trying to make this seem rude, but what is the big deal if these two are the same person?? I know this sounds like a stupid question, hell, even I think it's stupid, but could someone spell it out for me?? I'm really not seeing the imnportance.

It's no more important than any of the other topics we discuss and analyze to extremes sometimes.

Just like everything else, there's a mystery about who that blindfolded fella was and when it was pointed out he looked like Tom's wife, the  discussion began.

Relatively low on the mystery list for me, but interesting, nonetheless.

Well, I mean I know that the signifigance of the blindfolded guy, but I just don't see why it would matter if that was the same guy as Tom's boyfriend. are we looking for something that's not there??

Yeah, I don't care what a dude kissing another dude prefers too much.

There's probably "nothing there" on most of the threads here.  Fans analyze & speculate.

Looks like him to me.  I'd even say an exact match.  I think at the very least the show wants keen viewers to THINK it's him.  The guy in the tape could be of no importance at all or be Tom's boy toy or both.

....or, maybe Ben could want Tom to think its Arturo. I mean, you can't really tell, and if Ben needed to manipulate Tom, that could be a good way. If Ben's showing Tom this video, Tom's not gonna analyze it too closely, he's just gonna be like omg no don't do that, I'll behave.

Unless it was a fling and Tom didn't really care for him.. for instance if he met him at a bar or something.

Plus, one would think that Arturo didn't work for Ben since he left the area before Tom said anything.
