In the character’s most recent film, Super Mario Bros. Film, Charles voiced Mario’s father in a cameo. The production was shrouded in controversy because Chris Pratt took over the voiceover of the iconic chubby, moustached plumber. Fans weren’t too happy..

In addition to Mario, Charles was the in-game voice of Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and many other variations of the characters.
