... but you wouldn't recognise him if he walked past you or even talked to you in his "normal" voice. The man is Charles Martinet and he is the voice of Mario from the Nintendo games. He was signing cards, games and consoles for people in Game on Oxford St in London. He even made a couple of phone calls to people using the Mario / Wario voices which were hiilarious. For me, he signed my new DS Lite and for my kids he signed a card each as well as the inside cover of the new Super Mario DS game.

But best of all he let me shoot a phone video saying a Mario hello to my children, Emily, Daniel & Howard. You can see this HERE but you'll need ITunes / Apple quicktime to view it.

Charles was a gentlemen to all that I saw him speak to and really seemed to be enjoying the work! Woohoo!
 
Sounds a nice guy :thumbsup2
