Damn. Pee Wee’s Big Adventure was a classic. I am glad he managed a bit of a comeback after his controversy. Nobody would probably bat an eye these days.
There were some bigger controversies. During the Jeffery Jones child pornography investigation, he somehow became implicated and had his home raided. They found a massive collection of vintage erotica, some of which contained images of nude teens that were produced for scientific studies. They didn't find any evidence that he was actively searching out underage images specifically or that he was involved in creating any images, he just had lots of everything. He was able to successfully argue in court that he had the materials for their historical and artistic value, and was able to plead to lower charge of having obscene material.

Nick's has always been one of my favorite places to eat out. Fantastic restaurant with great food and service. I'll always remember all the times I've been there, especially for for Beers with Ted/Lyle/Gord/Huf.
All the best to Nick's family and friends during this difficult time.

He played a lieutenant to the big bad vampire in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (film). He such a breath of fresh air in an otherwise mediocre movie. Still has one of my favorite lines of all time and the best death scene I can think of.
Do NOT pull his fingers.

There is a discussion in another thread about how the theatrical release film is limited in its ability to relay a full native due to run time, amongst other factors.
This guy has several masterpieces under his belt that utilized every second of screentime. Brilliant.
