Cheech Marin, comedian and art collector, on the new museum that bears his name

Richard "Cheech" Marin, of the comedy duo Cheech and Chong, is not only renowned for stoner comedies — he's also an aficionado of Chicano art, which he started collecting around 1985. "It's an addiction," he said. "Hi, my name is Cheech, and I'm an art addict."

Marin said his addiction is "about love of the subject."

"I've been a collector of anything since I was a little kid - marbles, baseball cards, stamps, anything," he told CBS News.

Marin's success as part of the comedy team, and other acting roles, allowed him to invest in his passion. "I was the perfect storm," he said. "I knew what the art was, I had money to collect it, and I had celebrity in order to proselytize for it."

Chicano art, according to Marin, isn't a style of painting; it's more of a flavor of the Mexican American community.
