One half of the stoner-hippie comedic duo Cheech and Chong, Richard “Cheech” Marin has become perhaps one of the most well-known and respected Chicano achievers in the world of entertainment. As an actor, director, writer, musician, art collector and humanitarian, Cheech is a man who has proven that he has the intellect and wit to make a simple smile appear in any situation.

The High Lifestyle Show October 7-9, 2022 We are super stoked to announce, a true renaissance man, our guest Cheech Marin. Cheech will be meeting fans and signing items, art and autographs all weekend long. Limited tickets are available now!

On April 19, 2018, Cheech (as part of GLE Brands Inc) signed an agreement with Heritage Cannabis Holdings Corporation (CSE: CANN) to have exclusive rights to use cannabis and cannabis-related products utilizing the Private Stash brand throughout Canada for a period of 2 years, with the agreement automatically renewing for an additional year upon achieving various milestones.

Vancouver, B.C. / TheNewswire / April 19, 2018 – HERITAGE CANNABIS HOLDINGS CORPORATION (CSE: CANN) (“Heritage” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with GLE Brands Inc (“GLE”)., a branding company inclusively representing the ‘Cheech’s Private Stash’ (“Private Stash”), Cannabis brand of Iconic Hollywood actor, stand-up comedian and Cannabis legalization advocate, Cheech Marin. Mr. Marin is widely known for being one half of the comedy duo ‘Cheech and Chong’ which gained prominence in the 70s and early 80s for its public use of cannabis in mainstream movies.

In Forbs Magazine  – He offers this advice to entrepreneurs:

“… the cannabis industry is the next huge frontier for business opportunity. The industry is poised to grow to close to $50 billion in the next decade.” But for those seeking to invest he warns,  “…be careful not to get involved with the brands that are looking to make a quick buck.” 

By the way, as a wine lover, Cheech does not subscribe to the notion that legalized recreational pot will hurt wine sales. He says, “Americans are consumers and socialize extensively…there is space for both wine and cannabis.”

Cheech Marin Is Still Smokin’ After All These Years — As An Entrepreneur

The actor had immense success in the 1970s as a partner of Tommy Chong. He then moved into a wide array of film roles, including Spy Kids, Tin Cup, and Once Upon A Time In Mexico. Among his TV credits are a recurring role on Lost, a recurring role on Nash Bridges, and a guest appearance on Grey’s Anatomy. A few of his recent films include The Perfect Game (Lions Gate Entertainment); Beverly Hills Chihuahua and Race to Witch Mountain (Walt Disney Pictures); and The Miracle of Dommatina (Hallmark Channel).

After Cheech & Chong disbanded in 1985, Marin starred in a number of films as a solo actor, most notably Born in East L.A., which was also his directorial debut, The Shrimp on the Barbie, Tin Cup, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. He made a cameo appearance as a dockworker in Ghostbusters II. In 2004 he made his second appearance as a policeman, as “Officer Salino” in the film adaptation of John Grisham’s holiday novel “Skipping Christmas”, under the title “Christmas With the Kranks”, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis. Marin appeared in the Fox sitcom Married… with Children as the voice of the Bundy’s Briard dog, Buck; he voiced the character in three episodes: Look Who’s Barking, Change for a Buck, and Assault and Batteries.

Marin made the transition to full-time television work when he co-starred on the short-lived The Golden Girls spin-off The Golden Palace (1992–1993), and later with Don Johnson, Jaime P. Gomez, and Yasmine Bleeth in the police show Nash Bridges (1996–2001), in which they played San Francisco, police-detective partners. In recent years he has been active in playing supporting roles in films and performing voice overs for animated features. After appearing in a supporting role in Judging Amy, playing an independently wealthy landscape designer, Marin starred in the CBS sitcom Rob, with Rob Schneider.

Marin is a frequent collaborator of the director Robert Rodriguez, who has worked with Marin seven times; the last two installments of the Mexico trilogy, the Spy Kids trilogy, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Machete. He provided his voice for several Disney animated films, most notably Tito the Chihuahua in Oliver & Company (1988), Banzai the hyena in The Lion King (1994), and Ramone in Cars (2006) and its sequels Cars 2 (2011) and Cars 3 (2017). He also played Pancho in The Cisco Kid (1994), and reprised the Banzai role in the video game Kingdom Hearts II.

Marin encouraged people to wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the Government of California’s “Your Actions Save Lives” campaign in 2020.
Cheech appears in several episodes of AMC’s “Lodge 49” as El Confidente, a member of Lodge 55 in Mexico.

Marin is an avid collector of Chicano art and started his collection in the 1980s. Cheech Marin is also regarded as one of the most prominent private collectors of Chicano art. From 2001-2007, he toured Chicano Visions: American Painters on the Verge to major art museums across the country, breaking attendance records during its groundbreaking 15-city tour. In addition, he introduced Chicano art at Los Angelenos/Chicano Painters of L.A., an exhibition at LACMA in Los Angeles.   Two national touring exhibitions have featured works from his private collection. He feels that it’s important to :

“use his celebrity status to call attention to what he saw as an under-appreciated and under-represented style of art”.

In collaboration with the city of Riverside, California, and the Riverside Art Museum, Marin established The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art, Culture & Industry, in the City of Riverside, which opened on June 18, 2022. Marin will be donating his collection of over 700 pieces of Chicano art, the largest collection of such art in the world. The center will provide a location for the presentation and study of Chicano art, and is expected to draw international attention.

In late 2006, Marin participated in Simon Cowell’s Celebrity Duets, having sung with Peter Frampton, Randy Travis, Clint Black, Aaron Neville, and Al Jarreau. He was the fourth to be eliminated.

Marin had a recurring role in the hit television series Lost, playing David Reyes, Hurley’s father.

He was a co-host for WWE Raw on March 1, 2010, with his comedy partner Tommy Chong, in Oklahoma City.

Marin also sings on the hidden track “Earache My Eye” on Korn’s album Follow the Leader.

In 2009, he appeared in the Hallmark Channel movie Expecting a Miracle.

On March 18, 2010, Marin beat journalist Anderson Cooper and actress Aisha Tyler on Celebrity Jeopardy!’s Million Dollar Celebrity Invitational. Cooper admitted he was “crushed” by Marin.[14] Marin also won his semifinal round in early May but lost in the May 6–7 final to Michael McKean. He had previously won the first Celebrity Jeopardy! tournament in 1992.

In January 2012, he was one of eight celebrities participating in the Food Network reality series Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off. He was eliminated in the third week of the competition.

Cheech is a Mexican American third-generation whose work on behalf of Latinos has earned him numerous awards, including the Imagen Foundation’s 2000 Creative Achievement Award, and Kraft Foods’ ALMA Community Service Award in 1999. The Smithsonian Latino Center awarded him the inaugural Legacy Award for Arts Advocacy in 2007 for his contributions to the creative arts at Otis College of Art & Design in Los Angeles. A member of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the Smithsonian Latino Center, he serves on their boards. The comedic alliance between Tommy Chong and Richard “Cheech” Marin has been revived after being dormant for a long time. They reunited at the world-famous Troubadour in Los Angeles to announce their first tour in over 25 years!
