Tommy Chong (born May 24, 1938) is a Canadian comedian, actor and musician who is well-known for his stereotypical portrayals of hippie-era stoners. He is most widely known for his involvement in the marijuana-themed Cheech & Chong comedy movies with Cheech Marin, as well as playing the character Leo Chingkwake on Fox''s That ''70s Show. By the early 1960s, Chong was playing guitar for a Calgary soul group called The Shades. The Shades moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, where the band''s name changed to "Little Daddy & The Bachelors". They recorded a single, "Too Much Monkey Business" / "Junior''s Jerk". Together with bandmember Bobby Taylor, Chong opened a Vancouver nightclub in 1963 called the Blues Palace, formerly the Alma Theatre. They brought in the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, which had never been to Vancouver before.
