Actor Charles Martinet, the man behind the voice of Mario, has revealed that he’s working on an autobiography. The book, which Marninet hopes to have ready for a 2008 release, will focus on his time working with Nintendo.
“I’ve actually started workign a little bit on a book,” he tells CVG, “but it’s about finding the discipline to keep going. But I will be inspired [to finish it] by the fans.”
As the voice of the one of the most iconic characters of our time (next to Mr. Destructoid, of course), an autobiography could provide a good deal of insight on what it’s like to work for the videogames giant. We would also like to request that Martinet explain why Mario has an Italian accent, when we’ve all been given the impression that he was a plumber from Brooklyn.
