    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.
