Charles Martinet – The Voice of Mario

FILED IN games No Comments

This manis behind the voices of Mario, Luigi, Warioand many other game characters. An interview with him at Video Games Live 2007 in San Francisco is also posted here. One thing I noticed, he (also his voice) looks very much like Michael Douglas. What do you think?
Meet also Mel Blanc, the man behind the Looney Tunes, and this guy with 100 voices. -Quang-
