About Tommy Chong
One thing you probably didn’t know about Tommy Chong yet is that he actually voiced the character Yax on the 2016 Disney animated film Zootopia. He was also originally going to voice Shenzi, the hyena character in the 1994 Disney film The Lion King. However, the character was later on changed into a female and was instead voiced by Whoopi Goldberg. In 2005, a documentary directed, written, and produced by Josh Gilbert, called “a/k/a Tommy Chong” premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. This documentary follows Tommy’s personal and professional comedic career. It includes material related to his prosecution and imprisonment. This prosecution and imprisonment happened two years prior to the documentary being released and was due to legal issues with his part in financing and promoting drug-related paraphernalia. He was said to be cellmates with “The Wolf of Wall Street” Jordan Belfort and was even given credit for encouraging Belfort to write his memoir.
Today, he is also a well-known cannabis rights activist.
