    This guy is similar to Eddie Murphy where he is able to play several roles. I really noticed it first on the Cheech and Chong record. A very diverse and talented man! He is special for me, because of the clean humor he can do without cursing or really shooting down anyone. He is able to make fun of himself. Another minority figure easily fitting into the White mainstream culture. My Dad had a Cheech & Chong record that I enjoyed until I saw his/their movies. A shock to me, but later impressive was Nash Bridges on TV. Marin was a straight laced, serious person on the show. A potential role model.
