The youngest two children of Tommy Chong don’t have the acting career of their older siblings, but that’s fine. They’ve both made some splashes in life without it. Paris Chong’s IMDb profile lists a whopping two acting credits along with a solo director and a single producer credit. Showbiz just doesn’t seem to be his bag, but he’s an interesting guy regardless.
Take, for example, the time Cheech & Chong had a falling out. According to The Guardian, Paris was the catalyst that led to the duo reconnecting. Of course, he was sneaky about it, responding to an email sent from Cheech Marin to his father behind his father’s back, setting off a course of events that led to Cheech & Chong reuniting. There was also the time Paris was included in the paraphernalia bust of Tommy Chong in 2003. He didn’t do much except getting out of charges because of a plea agreement his dad made.
More recently, Paris started a podcast with his dad in 2016 that embodies much of the Chong vibe you’d expect. “The Tommy Chong Podcast” on Cannabis Radio is the father-son pair talking about life and politics while being “Up In Smoke.” They laugh, sound suspiciously like the character that is Tommy Chong, and just generally have a good time. There’s a bit more to it — opinions, insights, and the like — but that’s probably not the draw of the podcast.
