No. A check can be cashed only by the individual to whom the check is made out (issued) to. No one else can cash it even if it is signed by the person to whom the check was given.

But, you can deposit that check into the account of the person to whom the check was given if he has signed the back of the check (endorsed it) and no one will stop you if you do this and it is perfectly legal.
