And Martinet had an interesting answer.Charles Martinet was born on Septemin San Jose, California, USA as Charles Andre Martinet.
Still, some people wondered if Charles believed there would be anyone able to step into the role once he was gone. This led to Martinet getting a callback, and the rest is history. While initially, Charles thought he had bombed the audition, the lead designer behind Mario, Shigeru Miyamoto, knew they found their Mario. Caught off guard when he heard “Action” instead of speaking from the script, he started listing pizza, pasta, and every Italian dish he could name until the tape ran out. Understandably, Martinet did not know much about video games at the time, and while he had planned initially on a raspy Italian American voice, he decided to go with the far more cheerful and youthful version of a Brooklyn accent instead. The directors agreed, giving him the prompt ‘‘you are an Italian plumber from Brooklyn named Mario” for a video game company named Nintendo. Apparently, he was asked by a friend to ‘‘crash an audition in Las Vegas.’’ Martinet walked in as the casting directors were packing things up, and asked if he could read from the script.
How Charles Martinet became the iconic voice is something of a funny story.
