Charles Martinet is a Hollywood actor with decades of work under his belt, working in theater and film but you likely don’t know him from any of his on screen roles but you have heard his voice in many of the biggest video games of all time. Martinet has been the playful voice of Mario from the ‘Super Mario’ video game series, and this interview with Great Big Story, shows off the familiar plumber adventurer’s voice in all of it’s over-the-top glory. There is an odd disconnect when you actually see the voice from the Nintendo games just coming out of a real person mouth, but it’s really neat to see the craft of bringing this character to life.
