I am picturing the end of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' where he has the most ridiculous death scene.    And they continue it after the credits.

Remarkable

[MU82]

Remarkable consistency.

JB is infatuated with other men's genitalia. And that's OK; we're tolerant here.

Message from Reubens released after his death

"Please accept my apology for not going public with what I've been facing the last six years. I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you."

Has to be wild living in the public eye.

Last thing I recall seeing him in was in the show Gotham, he did a wonderful job.

Hat tip to a registered sex offender?  Scoop has jumped the shark...

2002 pornography arrest

In November 2002, while filming David LaChapelle's video for Elton John's "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore", Reubens learned that police were at his home with a search warrant, acting on a tip from a witness in the pornography case against actor Jeffrey Jones,[62] finding among over 70,000 items of kitsch memorabilia, two grainy videotapes, and dozens of photographs that the city attorney's office characterized as a collection of child pornography.[2] Kelly Bush, Reubens's personal representative at the time, said the description of the items was inaccurate and claimed the objects were "Rob Lowe's sex videotape, and a few 30- to 100-year-old kitsch collectible images."[63]

Reubens turned himself in to the Hollywood division of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and was charged with misdemeanor possession of obscene material improperly depicting a child under the age of 18 in sexual conduct.[64] The district attorney looked at Reubens's collection and computer and found no grounds for bringing any felony charges against him, while the city attorney, Rocky Delgadillo, formally charged Reubens on the last day allowed by statute.[65] Reubens was represented by Hollywood criminal defense lawyer Blair Berk.[66]

In December he pleaded not guilty through Berk, who also complained that the city attorney failed to turn over evidence to the defense, to which City Attorney Richard Katz countered that prosecutors were not required to do so until after arraignment. Later, evidence was secured by the defense. Neither side disclosed its contents.[67]

In March 2004, child pornography charges were dropped in exchange for Reubens's guilty plea to a lesser misdemeanor obscenity charge. For the next three years, he was required to register his address with the sheriff's office, and he could not be in the company of minors without the permission of their parent or legal guardian.[30]

Reubens later stated that he was a collector of erotica, including films, muscle magazines, and a sizable collection of mostly homosexual vintage erotica,[2] such as photographic studies of teen nudes.[30] Reubens said that what the city attorney's office viewed as pornography he considered to be innocent art, and that what they described as people underage engaged in masturbation or oral copulation was, in fact, a judgmental point of view. Reubens described the nude images as people "one hundred percent not" performing sexual acts.[30]

Being an avid collector, Reubens often purchased bulk lots, and one of his vintage magazine dealers declared that "there's no way" he could have known the content of each page in the publications he bought, and he recalled Reubens asking for "physique magazines, vintage 1960s material, but not things featuring kids".[2]

Reubens spent the next two years in Florida caring for his terminally ill father, who died in February 2004 of cancer.

He jerked off in that theater too, iirc.

A very weird dude, at the minimum.

If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend watching the episode of "30 Rock" that he appeared in. 

It was one of the most bizarre characters ever to appear on a network television show, and he killed it.

Also how many of you know he appeared in the Blues Brothers?
