Was the voice of Mario on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! (1989) cartoon that ran
1989-1991. Initially, he was not interested in doing the voice or
playing Mario in the live-action host segments opposite
Danny Wells (who played Luigi), but his wife persuaded him
to take the role. After agreeing to play Mario, Lou decided to shave
off his trademark goatee and grew a real handlebar mustache as opposed
to wearing a fake one.
