The figure who gets turned to stone by Medusa is that of comedian Dane Cook, as he appeared in the Dane Cook Gets... brickfilming fad. This was a participatory fad in brickfilming that was originally popular in 2009 and 2010 and saw many people creating short films in which Dane Cook meets a grisly end. Zach Macias was one of the original participators in the fad.
