I grew up watching his show, can still remember Saturday mornings were Playhouse followed by Beekman's world.

The show provided animators with a venue to test new grounds (early computer-generated shorts, claymation, etc) and really let kids enjoy being goofy.

It's a shame he got busted doing something dumb, it's kinda funny how some people get third and fourth chances, Paul seemed to carry that stigma from that day forward.

LOL.  What do he and John Wilkes Booth have in common?

Loved him in the Cheech & Chong movies..

I was wondering if anyone else remembered that. 

“I’m not sorry.”

Can't believe he was 70. That was my biggest takeaway from his passing. I was born in 1988 and I remember watching a lot of syndicated PeeWee's Playhouse reruns and his one or two movies he had in the 1990's during summer break here and there.

Other than his role as Fart Man in All-Stars, which I don't really remember watching and his role as a Vampire in the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie with Rutger Hauer. I don't recall much about his career. Of course outside of the jerking off incident in movie theater and the CP stuff he had.

Just makes him that much more creepy. PeeWee's playhouse, kids, etc. He was right in line with those sickos behind the scenes at Disney and Nickeolodeon.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."
