Paul Reubens has played many different types of characters: a drug dealer in BLOW, a farting superhero in MYSTERY MEN, a hilarious vampire in BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, and of course the most memorable of all, Pee-Wee Herman.
Next up, a smurf. Reubens will be lending his voice to the role of Jokey Smurf in Raja Gosnell’s THE SMURFS. Man, that’s a lot of Smurf dropping.
Here’s the cheery synopsis:
“When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours – in fact, smack dab in the middle of Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down.”
This will be Reuben’s next project after doing live stage productions of THE PEE-WEE HERMAN SHOW. The actor joins Neil Patrick Harris, George Lopez, Katy Perry, Alan Cumming, Sofia Vergara, Hank Azaria, Jonathan Winters, Fred Armisen, Anton Yelchin, and Jayma Mays.
