Talk:Cheech Marin

message: I could be incorrect as I haven't been watching much TV lately, but I recall watching the Nick at Night sitcom known as "George Lopez" and seeing Cheech at some point. On the show, George doesn't know who his father is, but one way or another, later figures out that his father is the character "Manuel Lopez", who happens to be played by Cheech.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kain Nobel (talk • contribs) 11:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

*No, this is rumor perpetuated by Rotten.com AKA NNDB.com.  No substantiation, probably internet rumor.  Parents surnames were Marin & Meza, both Hispanic surnames.  Cheech Marin regularly speaks out about his Hispanic heritage, and there is ZERO substantiation that he is Iranian.  DO NOT change this back without independent verification, the aforementioned sites are neither indpendent nor provide verification.

thread_title:  Is he really of Iranian descent? 

message: :He speaks fluent Spanish and uses it in some of the movies he stars in.
When Weird Al Yankovic was recording his song "Taco Grande", he decided to call Cheech Marin to see if he could translate something into Spanish for the song. Weird Al said that, to his surprise, Cheech didn't know Spanish either! (However, he would happily read the text for the song after it was translated, which he did.) Did Cheech learn Spanish since then? Is Weird Al wrong? Maybe the article's wrong? - furrykef (Talk at me) 06:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: can we get a photo, a filmography and background history here? I tagged the article as cleanup so that we can get some filmography, a photo and background history (biography) and a infobox template. It's more easier to find everything if these sections were on the article.

message: The current photo (november 2009) look nothing like the iconic Cheech; to be honest, it may not even BE Cheech, I really don't know. There should at least be a picture of him with a moustache.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.9.252.242 (talk) 20:55, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Featured Photo is inappropriate

message: The section describing the origin of the name is highly misleading. He's had the nickname "Cheech" since infancy, when a family member described him in his crib as looking like a chicharrón. It has nothing to do with drug culture. He told this story on last week's episode of WTF.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.66.76 (talk) 21:27, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The C&C article states "The duo met in Vancouver, British Columbia in the late 1960s." This article says Calgary. Neither has a citation. Tommy's article suggest he was living in Vancouver, as he had a nightclub and formed a band there. There has got to be a source for this tidbit somewhere, right.174.102.17.194 (talk) 13:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
