There's no doubt that legendary Mario voice actor Charles Martinet helped Nintendo's red-hatted plumber become as iconic and beloved as he is today, but in his original audition, he "didn't know anything about video games," so he opted for a slightly unconventional approach and "made things up about food," instead.
Speaking to GAMINGbible in a new interview, Martinet says that he "started off crashing an audition where I had never heard of the character or even Nintendo." He explains, "I was simply told to start talking, and when you run out of things to say, that's your audition." No pressure, then.
