Actor Cheech Marin celebrates Chicano art and culture

LA Stories Unfiltered with Giselle Fernandez

Famous for being half of the marijuana-loving hippie comedy duo "Cheech and Chong," Richard "Cheech" Marin is one of the highest achieving Latino​s in Hollywood — and has no plans to slow down. Although he enjoyed an immense amount of success together with Tommy Chong for 17 years, Marin eventually made the difficult decision to break up the duo and set off for a successful acting career on his own. Marin opens up to host Giselle Fernandez about that painful split and eventual reunion with Chong, as well as his love and pride for Chicano culture. Today, Marin owns one of the most extensive Chicano art collections in the U.S., which is now housed in the newly opened Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture at the Riverside Art Museum.
