Prince Randian - Freaks

Prince Randian (ca. 1871 December 19, 1934), also billed as "The Living Torso", was a successful side show performer in the 1930s. He starred alongside several other such performers in the 1932 movie Freaks, where he was mistakenly credited as "Rardion". Born without limbs, he was introduced as the "the human caterpillar who crawls on his belly like a reptile".

[QuoGirl]

his lighting a cigarette method is impressive... something that no person with complete limbs can even do (I mean, even if that person's hands were tied)

I also saw the scene where he rolls the cig back in the 1970's when the movie Freaks was re-released. Hippies thought he was rolling a reefer.

[psychodamned]

what happened when he got a boner ???

[canducci7]

hey i'm looking for the footage of him rolling also... most dextrous.

[serpant567]

Apparently his real name is not known

[TVeye77]

"remember seeing him roll the cigarette. I remember very clearly, since it seemed like a loose scene." I've seen it too, my friend had it on VHS.
