Charles Martinet walked in and asked, 'Can I please read for this?'. He went to the audition at the last minute as the casting directors were already putting away their equipment. Martinet earned the job as Mario's voice at Nintendo when, one day, he was told by his friend that there was going to be an audition at a trade show in which auditioneers 'talk to people as a plumber'. He went on to become a founding member of the San Jose Repertory Theatre for four years. Upon returning to California he joined the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. After training with the Berkeley Rep for several years, Martinet went to London to attend the Drama Studio London, where among other skills, he discovered his talent for accents and dialects. Įventually, Martinet earned an apprenticeship at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. His first role was a monologue from the Spoon River Anthology. A friend suggested to him to take acting classes to combat his fear of public speaking.

Martinet attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he originally intended to study international law. He attended the American School of Paris and graduated in 1974. His family moved to Barcelona when he was 12 years old, and later to Paris. His mother's family had been in the country since the Mayflower voyages, and his father's family had immigrated from France shortly after World War I, in which Charles' grandfather had served. Martinet was born on September 17, 1955, in San Jose, California. He currently resides in the Netherlands with his partner.
