Had to happen sometime. Sad to see it come, but Charles has had a hell of a run. He will continue to be the template for Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi for the rest of the characters' existence.

Very much, in my mind, like any new Looney Tunes voice actors are just trying to sound like Mel Blanc.

It'll be great to hear Charles' influence for years to come, even if he's not doing (or doing less of) the performances anymore.

I've met Charles Martinet several times at conventions. He seems like such an amazing person. He really does always put a smile on the faces of everyone in the room, no matter their age. Even seeing the remote interactions between Miyamoto and Charles here made me grin like a little kid.

Oh, and Charles really let his hair grow out!
