One day I went in, and it was Luigi.Charles Martinet was born on Septemin San Jose, California, USA as Charles Andre Martinet. ![]() There it is, we want you to do that voice. I can't really remember, something like, 'Orchard Supply, the right item at the right price, right now.' And here's another 250 dollars, which is how much I had made for standing there for nine hours, and I said, 'I'm a voice actor! Have a rotten day!. I was doing a TV ad, and the producer at the end of the day said, 'Do you do voiceover?' I read it it was ten seconds. So, I thought, 'I'm a corporate video actor!' And along came radio. The phone rang, there was a guy saying, 'Do you want to audition for a corporate video?' So, I went and auditioned for that, and found I was making more money doing a day of that than I made in a week of the theatre. I came back to the United States, did theatre for ten years, and then I felt I needed a break from theatre. I went to the Drama Studio of London, England – Sir John Gielgud was the patron, Peter Layton the creator and headmaster, really fantastic, and that was 1979- 1980. So that is what set the fire in me to become an actor, and then it's been 40 fantastic, fun, wonderful years, of joy and happiness, performing and learning the art, the craft of acting. I not only didn't get Oberon, I got nothing. He says, 'Charles, don't count your chickens before they hatch, this is college, and you never know what's going to happen.' I got nothing. I knew I really did a spot-on audition, and I called Lester. So, I studied and studied, I did everything to get this part. I was convinced that Oberon was the part for me. I started getting my confidence up, and they were auditioning for A Midsummer Night's Dream. I enjoyed watching and listening to everyone, and then they said, 'Go ahead and learn a monologue.' I was shaking like a leaf, but somehow I reached the end of it, and everyone politely clapped, as you do in acting class, and Lester said, 'I want to know how it is you're the only person of all of us that wasn't nervous at all.' Whaaaat! The reason I actually became an actor was failure. ![]()
