The return (again) of Pee-wee Herman

We all grew up watching Pee Wee's Playhouse. In fact you can still watch it on some stations I believe. The show was pretty remarkable really in what kinds of things they would say on it. As a kid you didn't really pick up on most of the sexual overtones, but I'm sure if you watched it now you would see some of the crazy things that the characters say.

Paul Reubens is kind of a cult actor in which he just appears out of no where in many movies and television shows. Keeping track of his many paychecks must require some extensive budgeting software for his accountants. HE never really was a main character in most appearances, but has played some memorable roles. One that comes to mind immediately was his role in the movie Blow that starred Jonny Depp. HE played a homosexual stylist that just so happened to have the inside track to distributing drugs to everyone that was willing in California back before there really was a drug war. Solid acting in that role to be sure.

Now it seems he has made another come back and you can read about it in this recent article at MSNBC.com.
