Cheech Marin: Perspectives of an Art Advocate

A paradox in the world of entertainment, Cheech Marin is an actor, director, writer, musician, art collector, humanitarian, and a multi-generational talent. As Cheech himself jests, ​“people know me from the womb to the tomb.” Widely acknowledged as a cultural icon, he is perhaps best known as one half of the hilariously irreverent, satirical, counterculture comedy duo Cheech & Chong, which found commercial and cultural success with their stand up routines, studio recordings, and feature films. He has also voiced characters in several Disney films, including Oliver & Company, The Lion King, the Cars series, and Coco.
