The imagination behind Pee-wee Herman
Paul Reubens was an actor and comedian who created Pee-wee Herman and voiced Lock in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
A character from stage to screen
Reubens developed Pee-wee Herman while working with The Groundlings. The character moved from a stage show into film and television, with Reubens as its performer and creative force.
Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (1985), directed by Tim Burton, brought the character to film. The television series Pee-wee’s Playhouse followed with its own imaginative world.
In The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Reubens voiced Lock, one of the mischievous trio. His other screen credits include Batman Returns. Reubens died in 2023 at age 70.
