He considers Tim Burton and the late Phil Hartman to be two of his friends. He auditioned for Saturday Night Live, but was not hired. He did, however, later star on SNL as it's host in 1985. Pauls credits include Matilda, Batman Returns, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Nightmare Before Christmas, Dunston Checks in, Mystery Men, Doctor Dolittle, Star Tours (yeah, thats right, the Disney Land ride), Blow, and a few other hit films.
His parents owned a lamp store growing up and his infatuation with the circus lead him to be a performer. He got his big break as a member of an improv group with Lisa Kudrow, Conan O'Brian, Phil Harman, Jon Lovitz, and others. He's had his own HBO specials, he's sold out Carnagie Hall, he's gotten caught masterbating while watching Nurse Nanny and now everything has changed.
Apperently his PeeWee's Playhouse audience thought that his little mistake was so funny they forgot to laugh. And so his hit childrens show was cancled. His movie rolls began to diminish. Even popular guest apperences on Murphy Brown, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Ally McBeal could not bring him back to his previous place of popularity.
Let Paul Reubens connect the dots for you. Stop touching yourself. Or at the very least, stop touching yourself in public, 'cause it just might be a police sting opporation and you just might lose what few breaks you had going for you.
peace.
