Lou Albano, the man most well known among video gamers for his portrayal of Mario in the live action segments of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show cartoon, passed away on Wednesday due to continued complications of an illness that he had been battling under hospice care for some time. The cartoon, which is available on DVD home release, was something that young fans of the NES looked forward to each week, and it remains a lasting symbol of Mario’s huge impact on pop culture.
One last time, I suggest that everybody should “do the Mario” for Captain Lou. Just wait until nobody is looking, it’s okay.
