I recently gained the privilege to work with one of my comedy heroes. His pee Herman is respected at my house. His enthusiasm for cross cultures and the strange brands that children accept will help to form the perception of our generation against so-called outsiders. So, when I received a message saying reading Rene, one of the greatest hairdressers at Free Wheelin 's mobile hair salon, I could not think of thinking that I might be a big queen. Pissing your urine's character is more important than life and all the work I try to make it more subtle on the screen needs to be thrown out of the window. There is no longer a concern about playing stereotypes or being treated as a comic. This is PEE WEE FUCKING HERMAN!
Paul Reubens was laughing there when I entered the last callback. I gradually lost my voice and I was worried that I could not fulfill the character's energy and fear. However, at that time, under the fluorescent light of the Paramount conference room, he can be said to be supporting me. He even gave me instructions on how he imagined that one of the lines might work better than me. When I finished the audition, he and the director John Lee stood up and grasped my hand and thanked me for entering. If all the audiences were treated the same way, I could not tell whether this was their atmosphere alone, but I went out and felt better about themselves. Pee Wee (and Paul) can do this: you make you feel better
Then I got a phone call. I happen to work, this is a "survival work" where artists now need to pay their bills. I had a bad day. After I hang up, let me tell you you can not laugh from your face. Peeee Herman is making another movie, I would have participated in it.
On the last day of our shoot (I think we were in the final scene of filming in Los Angeles), we ran very late. It was midnight when we got tired. I remained in the wig for a long time (head wear was not easy to wear) and I felt my feeling sharp a bit. At this point, Paul grabbed my shoulder by reaching out his hand. "I know that you are tired now, but the movie always exists, you do not want to look back at the movie and think how tiring you are." This is a simple explanation. This is a big problem. He is right. After all, I was in Pee Wee's movie. May be the last one forever
When I saw this movie, I remembered two moments. His simple note during his goodwill and audition during the night. I noticed the reason why Paul Reubens and Pee Wee Herman are very loved. Paul is a perfect pro dealing with many interesting facts and topics of topics, and Pee Wee makes you feel better.
I am proud of my work in the movie. This is not a big role, but it is unforgettable. I am grateful to Paul and his trust.
It is said that PEE WEE 's BIG HOLIDAY is being broadcast on Nelflix, but please have a look.
