The Man Behind Pee-wee


Actor Paul Reubens has passed at 70. His alter ego Pee-wee Herman exploded on late night talk shows and feature films like Pee-wee's Big Adventure (Tim Burton's feature debut) and a sequel. He had bit roles in comedies like Cheech and Chong's Next Movie and The Blues Brothers Movie and did straight roles in films like Blow and Mystery Men while more recent TV guest spots included 30 Rock, The Blacklist, and Pushing Daisies. His biggest hit was TV in the late 1980s with Pee-wee's Playhouse for several years winning multiple Emmy Awards. To know Pee-wee, one only has to say, "I know you are, but what am I?"
