Paralympian Josh Sundquist has never let the fact that he has only one leg hold him back from achieving his goals in life. As an accomplished author, comedian, motivational speaker and member of the U.S. Amputee Soccer Team, Sundquist actively pursues excellence. He's also a very big fan of Halloween.

Each year Josh stuns the world with an inventive Halloween costume. He has been Tigger, a flamingo, a Christmas tree and a gingerbread man, among other things. With each costume, Sundquist uses his leg as a focal feature, proving that having an amputation does not have to limit the characters you can play. 

For his 2018 costume, Sundquist decided to once again look to his love of Disney's animated characters. He chose the beloved Genie from Aladdin, who was first voiced by Robin Williams in 1992. In collaboration with the original animator who created the Genie and several other people who knew how to custom design such a costume for an amputee, Sundquist successfully transformed into the Genie. Of course, he completed the costume with his own signature charm and humour, just like the original Genie.
