ED ASNER

Ed Asner (Edward Asner) was an actor from the 1950s to the 2020s. While he has appeared in several movies over the years, he is best remembered for his role as Lou Grant on TV's "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (and later, the serious spin-off show, "Lou Grant", where he played the same character in an entirely different setting). Unlike most actors, who drastically slow down or retire in their 80s, Asner remained very active, including voicing the lead role in Pixar's Up, and having a significant role in the YouTube/Netflix hit show, Cobra Kai. He passed away in 2021 at the age of 91.
