Summary:: Paul Reubens (born Paul Rubenfeld; August 27, 1952) is an American actor, writer, and comedian, best known for his character Pee-wee Herman. Reubens joined the Los Angeles troupe The Groundlings in the 1970s and started his career as an improvisational comedian and stage actor. In 1982 Reubens put up a show about a character he had been developing during the last few years. The show was called The Pee-wee Herman Show and it ran for five sellout months with HBO producing a successful special with it. Pee-wee became an instant cult figure and for the next decade Reubens would be completely committed to his character, doing all of his public appearances and interviews as Pee-wee. In 1985 Pee-wee's Big Adventure, directed by the then unknown Tim Burton, was a financial success and, despite receiving mixed reviews, it developed into a cult film. Big Top Pee-wee, 1988's sequel, was not as successful as its predecessor. Between 1986–1990 Reubens starred as Pee-wee in CBS' Saturday morning children's program, Pee-wee's Playhouse.

Personal Life

In 1991, after deciding to take a couple of years sabbatical from Pee-wee, Reubens was arrested for indecent exposure in an adult theater in Sarasota, Florida. The arrest set off a chain reaction of national media attention that changed forever the general public's view of Reubens and Pee-wee.[1] The arrest put off Reubens from engaging in big projects until 1999 when he appeared in the big budgeted Mystery Men and the blockbuster Blow, and started giving interviews as himself rather than as Pee-wee. In 2001, police searched Reubens' house and found items characterized by the city attorney's office as child pornography. According to Reubens the items were from his vintage "erotic artwork" collection which had people "one hundred percent not" performing sexual acts.[2] The charges were dropped in 2004 after Reubens pleaded guilty to possessing obscene images of minors.

Since 2006 Reubens has been making cameos and guest appearances in numerous projects such as Reno 911!, 30 Rock, Dirt and Pushing Daisies. Reubens has also been working since the 1990s on two possible Pee-wee films, a dark and adult one dubbed The Pee-wee Herman Story, and a family-friendly epic adventure called Pee-wee's Playhouse: The Movie.
