    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.

          My God you’re absolutely right! He was amazing in that movie, I feel remiss for forgetting that role. What a great ensemble of actors, going to watch it now.

        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.

    Oh shit man, I loved Pee Wee as a kid. Its a shame all the ridicule he had to endure. He was a genuine entertainer.

      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.

    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.
