English Translation
What’s that guy’s name?
What does “Typ” mean in this sentence? Wouldn’t “Mann” work just as well?
It’s an appropriate colloquial translation for “guy”.
“Mann” would be correct as well, but the wrong register.

Yes, Kerl also works. However, to me it feels a little more lower register, and also a bit more old-fashioned.
