| Paul Reubens is best known for his portrayal of Pee-Wee Herman. |
At a hastily arranged news conference on Friday evening, Netflix, the producers of the hit show House of Cards, announced that the show would indeed continue on without star Kevin Spacey.
Spacey, who has also starred in various films such as American Beauty and Beyond The Sea, has been under intense scrutiny and condemnation since being accused of sexual harassment or assault in recent days by at least 15 people.
"The role of Frank Underwood will live on, and we believe we've found the perfect person to play him," executive producer William Thomson. "That person is versatile actor Paul Reubens."
Reubens, age 65, is best known for his portrayal of Pee-Wee Herman, and starred in The Pee-Wee Herman Show from 1981-84, and Pee-Wee's Playhouse from 1986-91. He is also the star of feature films Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Big Top Pee-Wee. Since 2006, Reubens has been making cameos and guest appearances in numerous projects, such as Reno 911!, 30 Rock, Dirt, Pushing Daisies, and The Blacklist.
