Charles Martinet

Charles Martinet (pronounced Martih-nay) was born in San Jose, CA in 1956 where he lived until he was twelve.  In 1968 the family moved to Barcelona, Spain; Paris, France, then back to the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose area).

Martinet only started acting when he was twenty at the urging of a friend who was teaching a course in acting.  He took the class, even though he was very nervous about being in front of an audience of any sort.  It occurred to him during a planned monologue in class that he was enjoying himself.  His parents, ever in support of Charles' pursuits, sent him off to England to study theatre and acting at the Drama Studio of London.  Upon his return from England Martinet went on to apprentice at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre.

Martinet auditioned for everything he could and did hundreds of radio/TV spots and commercials, a myriad of video games and more than a handful of feature films and television shows.

Martinet has appeared in over seventy-five stage productions and has worked on over 100 video games, including the role of Mario in all the Mario games.

Martinet currently lives in Mill Valley, CA.
