I got a little chuckle out of the caption "A man who said his name was Juan cleans up the groceries...". Do Mr Griffith or Ms Newton have a suspicion he may not be who he says he is? I suppose there are worse ways to write it:

"Juan" cleans up the groceries...

A man, going by the name of Juan, cleans up the groceries...

Juan, if that is his real name, cleans up the groceries...
