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.
Yeah, Pee Wee's Big Adventure is still great. And the small roles he had in a couple Cheech and Chong movies still make me laugh. That hamburger train thing is hilarious
Rest in peace. I first saw him in the Cheech and Chong Next Movie and only realized mamy years later he was already playing the Pee Wee Herman character then.
