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.

Who did he play? I didnt even realize he was in it. I loved Batman Returns!
