Paul Reubens, the actor best known for portraying the irrepressible, joyfully childlike Pee-wee Herman, died Sunday night after a private bout of cancer. He was 70.
Fucking brain cancer. That hurts. Got to speak with him on a Zoom Cameo call in late 2021 and it was just a wonderful experience. Such a cool human being. Lost my mom to brain cancer in 2000. Always stings a little more when you hear about another having gone through it.
😞
I know, its a major bummer. I grew up on Pee-wee;s Play House as a kid. Then the other rolls like Cheech and Chong, Blow, etc the guy had massive depth as an actor.
Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is a godamned classic.
I love him in Batman Returns, it just cracks me up when I see him, but man he sold that role. Tons of people never even realized he was in it.Thats his genius, pre peewee he was a staple in the Cheech and Chong movies.
/fuck today is a darker world…
I never knew that, I’ll check that out thanks. I first knew him from Playhouse.
Hamburger train… Sorry, Sorry, I"M NOT SORRY!
/you’ll get it
Let’s not forget Mystery Men!
allow me to do a “came here for this”… he’s so damned funny as the farter man, he made me fucking die laughing
Hey! You get The Spleen’s name right!
Remember The SPLEEN!
i laugh like a chimp at the bar scene when Garofalo shuts down his attempt at a come-on
Phil Hartman was in the original stage show, The Pee-Wee Herman Show, which was not a kids show. And he was in the kids’ show.
Why were you downvoted for saying this? I will never understand people…
Also Laurence Fishburne, Cowboy Curtis!
What an absolute legend. RIP
