Paul Reubens Arrest and Return in 1991

In 2010, he starred in “The Pee-Wee Herman Show” on Broadway as Pee-Wee.
He made his acting debut as Jokey in the famous family comedy “The Smurfs” the next year, and he also worked on the 2013 sequel.
In 2016, Netflix started showing “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday.”

In 2002, he was arrested and charged with having sexually explicit pictures of a child under the age of 18 in his hands. He said he wasn’t guilty and that the claimed materials found in his home were actually part of his collection of old erotica.
