Cheech Marin is celebrating his 78th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed comedians of his generation.

Popular comedian-actor-author Cheech Marin (Nash Bridges, Cheech & Chong : Up in Smoke, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 78th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Marin, a cultural icon

Born Richard Anthony Marin in Los Angeles on July 13, 1946, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Marin's not just a great comedian, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Cheech hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Cheech Marin as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 78.

Happy Birthday, Cheech, you're the best!
