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.

Let's not forget Mystery Men!

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.

Thats his genius, pre peewee he was a staple in the Cheech and Chong movies.
