Who is Zebra on 'The Masked Dancer'?

The clue package that played before the Zebra could perform saw him talking about the fact that he had moved away from the limelight and that audiences hadn't seen him for a while. He also spoke about growing up in a rough neighborhood and the only love he grew up to know was tough love. The visual clues in his package included a poster with a zebra on it, a medal around the masked celebrity's neck that was highlighted for a couple of seconds, a red car, and a desert where a couple of zebras were running free.

Ken Jeong too chimed in adding that he feels the masked celebrity is a trained dancer but is trying to hide it by staying in character from the very beginning. Brian Austin Green added that he too feels that this celebrity is a trained dancer because over the years he's observed that dancers keep moving all the time, just like the Zebra has been doing on the show, he just can't stop moving even during the critique. The one-word clue that he provided about his identity to the judges in his own voice was "comeback".
