Abstract
It has been shown that the massless irreducible representations of the Poincar\'e group with continuous spin can be obtained from a classical point particle action which admits a generalization to a conformally invariant string action. The continuous spin string action is quantized in the BRST formalism. We show that the vacuum carries a continuous spin representation of the Poincar\'e group and that the spectrum is ghost-free.
