Original name[edit]

I'd be happier if we had a better reference for Chong's birth name - the current link (filmreference.com) is pretty spammy and doesn't cite its own sources. Kinda looks like some guy's webpage rather than a reliable source. WLU 11:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The birth father played football at or near the time Marcus was born, for the U of Washington, in Seattle. His mother, according to her is the first cousin of Tommy Chong, and her last name was Chong. Marcus was about 12 years old when they left Seattle for SoCal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtfarmers (talk • contribs) 22:21, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adopted son[edit]

The article's subject says that the "adopted" son of Thomas Chong note is incorrect. Most likely, filmreference.com got that from the piece on Thomas Chong, which does not say that Marcus was adopted, just that Thomas says that Marcus was like one of the family, and most likely, filmreference would NOT be considered reliable in this case. -- Avi (talk) 12:01, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Later years[edit]

The later years section doesn’t make any sense! What accusations! What harassment! Cckrspnl56 (talk) 01:52, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Old Disney Role[edit]

I think I found his earliest role on accident:

It's in Lady and the Tramp: A Lesson in Sharing Attention, a Disney educational short from 1978. He's listed in the credits as Marcus Wyatt.

I'm not really versed in editing on here, so if someone else wants to add it, that'd be great. Mikotoh (talk) 07:07, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
