Tommy Chong is celebrating his 88th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor Tommy Chong (That '70s Show, Cheech & Chong : Up in Smoke, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 88th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Chong, a cultural icon
Born Thomas B. Kin Chong in Edmonton on May 24, 1938, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Canadian history. Chong's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Tommy hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tommy Chong as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 88.
Happy Birthday, Tommy, you're the best!
