Cheech Marin

Richard Anthony "Cheech" Marin (born July 13, 1946) is an American businessman, entrepreneur, comedian and actor who gained recognition as part of the comedy act Cheech & Chong during the 1970s and early 1980s, and as Don Johnson's partner, Insp.

The thick Indigenous Mexican-American accent he often uses is a part of a comic persona, rather than a natural accent.
