Cheech Marin to play Hurley’s dad in Lost flashback
There are a lot of B-listers I would consider for the role of Hurley’s dad, but Cheech Marin? Yes, the Born in East L.A. is more of a cult celeb these days, but somehow I am having a tough time picturing him in the role of Hurley’s dad. It’s right up there with envisioning Wayne Brady playing the brother of Neil Patrick Harris in How I Met Your Mother.
But then again, Lost can pretty much pull off anything, so I am sure after watching the episode we will all be noting the family resemblance between the two 
Cheech Marin will appear in the February 28th episode of Lost, titled “Tricia Tanaka is Dead” which will be a Hurley centric episode and SpoilerFix has the scoop that Mr. Cluck’s Chicken Shack will also be in the episode. And since we now know that Hurley’s Mr. Cluck’s boss was also Locke’s boss at the box factory, we have to wonder if that will play a role in this upcoming episode.

Haha, that is just too funny. I can think of about a hundred other actors I would have cast before I ever would have even thought of Cheech Marin! But you are right, Lost can pull off just about anything.
