      Except Giancarlo is a skinny aging bureaucrat and Bowser is a 300 lb dragon turtle.

      This would have been the perfect voice role for a Jason Momoa or Dwayne Johnson, if you absolutely need a celebrity on the title card. Otherwise, get literally anyone who has a bit of reverb in their voice. Giancarlo's best work barely happens above a whisper. We're looking for Darth Vader not The Godfather.
