Cheech Marin high on art

This is a great story. Cheech Marin has long been breaking ground for Hispanic actors. Though most people know him as half of the comedy team Cheech & Chong, he's been a workhorse actor and has established a number of firsts for Hispanic actors.

Now he's taking it a step further by taking Chicano art to the American public. From what the article says, his collection of Chicano art is the largest private collection in the world. That's "walking the walk" in my book.

Hats off to Cheech for using his celebrity for a positive end...
