Heller stated in an interview that not even the actor who plays Red John knew it was him until the script was released, let alone all the other members of the cast. This is so they didn't act different to how they normally would or let it get in the way. So even if there are images that show RJ's figure, or where we catch a glimpse of him, it could be any of them. Or even a different actor completely.
How do you find this theory?
