Born Eric Sprague in 1972, the Lizardman was one of the first people to have a split tongue, some say he's the one who made it popular. This 37 year old man has transformed himself into a reptile. These looks do not come easy, or cheap for that matter. He's had 700 hours of tattooing, five Teflon horns implanted beneath the skin of his eyebrows, filing down of his teeth into sharp fangs, bifurcation (splitting) of his tongue, and stretching of his septum and earlobes. He is a registered "freak" (as tattooed on his chest), and spends his time performing numerous sideshow acts (sword swallowing, fire eater/breather, walks beds of nails, and an act known as "blockhead"). You may see him from time to time, on his many highly paid tv and personal appearances, but be slow to judge. As the age-old saying goes: "Do not judge a book by its cover," no truer words could ever be spoken. On the surface, you see a Circus Act...but looks may be deceiving. In reality, before he was a "lizardman", Eric is actually a PhD. and attended the University of Albany where he went on to attain his Bachelor's of Arts degree in Philosophy. So, remember to be slow to judge, because you never know who people REALLY are.
