[quote]Even though he voices one of the [URL="http://www.playerattack.com/news/2012/10/07/video-charles-martinet-the-voice-of-mario/"]most recognisable characters in the world[/URL], Charles Martinet is a pretty unassuming fella in person. In fact, to an Australian tv station, the silver-haired Californian was just another one of thousands affected by an incident at Melbourne Airport.
[URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=us1UJLKcQJw[/URL]
Martinet was in Australia recently for a number of gaming events (including [URL="http://www.playerattack.com/event/15/EB-Games-Expo-2012/"]EB Games Expo[/URL] and [URL="http://www.playerattack.com/news/tag/supernova/"]Supernova[/URL]) and was one of many passengers "inconvenienced" when a suspicious package was discovered in the terminal.
The video - spotted by [URL="http://www.vooks.net/lite-channel-seven-news-interview-charles-martinet-have-no-who-he-is/"]Vooks[/URL] - hints that nobody knew who he was while he waited for his flight. I offer another theory: The news crew are massive gamers and wanted to slip this in as a bit of an inside joke.

BREAKING NEWS: People shockingly have difficulty identifying voice actors when they're not using the voices they're known for.
In other news, Tom Kenny and Billy West somehow manage to grocery shop without being mobbed for autographs.
He was trying to catch a plane, eh?
"I'm-a gonna fly for you!
MMMMMMMMMM"
[QUOTE=usaokay;38085314]In the video comments, the VA responded that he did the Mario voice, but they didn't air it.
shame, but understandable.[/QUOTE]
Or at least someone claiming to be him.
It's easy to "fake" your name on YT (Just look at all the comments by Chuck Norris)
