He's on the balcony listening to the gramophone, standing in front of the US flag. You can make out his slicked back hair and trademark 'tache also.  
 
Noone seems to have mentioned this yet (Jeff and Brad didn't seem to catch it in their video about their thoughts on the trailer). 
 
Also, despite their being an AI companion, the game is not coop (Eurogamer article). 
 

Someone should screen cap it.
 
I was certain I saw something too...

Could just be some random guy.

I don't know, that guy seems older. Given this game's setting, Ryan would be 20 years old in Infinite. Seems unlikely, but who knows.
 
Also, he didn't flee Russia until 1919 (seven years after the beginning of Infinite).

I was wondering what was up with that guy. I'm pretty interested in what this game could be.

I think I heard in one of the video interviews or previews that Infinite has no connection to Bioshock 1 and is actually set in its own universe. So I don't think he is Andrew Ryan. Or he might be an homage to Andrew Ryan.

middle-aged guy with a medium build and short dark hair in a suit!?  It could only be him!

Eurogamer preview makes it sound pretty crazy - very Bioshock so far but I have no doubt that these guys will push the boundaries of just what that entails

My thoughts exacly. consisdering that Bioshock Infinite  meant to be set in 1912, It seem unlikley Anderw's going to be an adult if he appears in the game. "

Ah I remember seeing that guy, didn't click on to it being Ryan though, but who knows? Only time will tell! Although, from what these guys have said so far they seem pretty clued up so I reckon it's a bit unlikely.

Probably not, I think its just a look alike, or maybe is FATHER!!!

Andrew Ryan is not in the trailer.

I'm so excited about this find!
I don't doubt that it's Andrew Ryan, hopefully someone can verify it.
 
NIce find!

Technically he would be a 20 year old adult, but I agree. Ryan seems incredibly unlikely to appear in this game. "

I doubt it would be in it's own dimension... why bother establishing that it occurs before Bioshock 1 if it's got no connection. I'd say it's definitely in the same universe but I wouldn't expect to see anything beyond subtle nods towards Rapture. Rapture was a statement about exclusion from social norms, and how more feral traits can effect a person. A society based on merit entirely. I'd say Columbia's "point" for lack of a better term would be a society that, since it takes place in a floating world's fair, would be a statement about how a person goes when, instead of hiding your genius away from the "lesser" parts of society, you expose it entirely. I figure in Infinity, we'll be seeing mutation on a less noticeable scale, and more of the government trying to hide their dirty secrets. I'd think that Elizabeth is one of those secrets. You might be as well. I'd say on Columbia we'll see more "Big Brothers" then Big Daddies. "

What's your source on his age here? Wouldn't that make him roughly 60 in the events of Bioshock? He didn't look 60.... "

I hope there are no ties to the first game in this one. No fan service, no nods or winks just let it exist on its own merits.

You play as Andrew Ryan!

Based on a Bioshock background wiki, Andrew Ryan never left Russia until 1919, and was present for the revolution in 1917. So that's not him... Plenty of people in 1912 would have looked like that man.

" middle-aged guy with a medium build and short dark hair in a suit!?  It could only be him! "

Is a man not entitled to the prequel of his own masterpiece?! 
 
That is all.

Ryan would not be that old in 1912, and he was probably just a boy when Columbia flew up.

Are you sure it's him?

Only way it could be him is if they retcon it by making him appear in his 40's but actually much older because of plasmid use or something.

While I dont think that is Andrew Ryan, I'd put money he is in the game.
I pretty stoked for this tho

My first thought was Sander Cohen.

" My first thought was Sander Cohen. "

I think the whole idea that at no point Infinite will have anything to do with the first game is a little far fetched. I'm not saying they will (or should) have it where you meet some young character from Rapture at every street corner, but by the end of the game I'm sure we'll have some story threads to go on.
 
That might not be Ryan, but that was definitely a Big Daddy figurine.

Oh dude, I totally forgot about that guy. This would make a little more sense, since not much is known about Mr. Cohen's life before Rapture, so who knows? "

I think it also makes more sense because you never get a sense of how old he is and judging by his cynical tone when you meet him, he's old enough to know of success elsewhere and is depressed that he passed on what he had to go to Rapture. It's unlikely but it seems a way to tie the fiction together without having to go directly to Andrew Ryan. "

I did find it interesting after re-watching the trailer for like the tenth time, the dude is standing next to a phonograph and is conducting along with the music. If I remember correctly Sander Cohen was a music composer amongst other things.  Color me giddy. "

Its a red herring. And the girl looks like Snow White, doesn't mean you play as Snow White.

I doubt it's him.

 yeah because nobody back then had slick black hair and a mustache.

It doesn't take place in the same universe as Rapture.
