Ed Asner 1929 - 2021

Ed Asner passed away today at a young age of 91  

I vaguely remember him in the Mary Tyler Moore Show and Lou Grant. My parents were more into the shows, but I always remember his as a grumpy old guy  

I happened to be watching Corbra Kai today and saw Ed as Sid, John Lawrence's son of a bitch step father. Then, later while reading the news I saw this article:

Rest in Peace, Ed. You will be missed.

He was a great character actor who had small roles in many other shows as well, but he is best known for playing the irascible  Lou Grant, first on the Mary Tyler Moore show and then in his own spinoff.  RIP with the knowledge that you supplied me, and many others, with many hours of entertainment.

I went to his IMDB page and I've never seen anyone with so many pending works from announced, pre-production, filming, post production, to complete (20 works in all). He was an active guy.
