Randy Constan (born November 18, 1953) is a Peter Pan impersonator who posted his cosplay pictures on a website in 2001, in what he stated was an attempt to find a girlfriend.[2] The website became a widely circulated internet meme, and in 2001 Constan's website, pixyland.org (aka Peter Pan's Home Page) won a Webby Award in the "weird" category.[3]

Constan has made television appearances in costume, including Late Night with Conan O'Brien,[4] Jimmy Kimmel Live!,[5] Unscrewed with Martin Sargent,[6] and Because I Said So.[7]

In 2006, Constan appeared in a music video alongside Jay Maynard, Leslie Hall, and other individuals who gained worldwide exposure via the Internet, created for the web site WeAreTheWeb.org. The video advocates for net neutrality.[8]
