From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Long Dong Silver (Daniel Arthur Mead) is a retired porn star. He appeared in several pornographic movies with Brian Carl in the UK and USA during the late 1970s and early 1980s, famed for the size of his penis (reputedly 18 inches / 45 centimeters), although it is generally believed to have been extended with a prosthetic sheath.[citation needed] His debut film was the low-budget Sex Freaks released in 1979, in which he co-starred with Vicki Scott. In 1982 he appeared with the legendary Seka in Beauty and the Beast, shot in America. His name is a reference to Long John Silver.
He received new fame in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings in the U.S. Senate in 1991.[1][2][3][4][5]
