Ed Asner has been a staple in my tv viewing my whole life. I loved him as the voice of Carl in the movie "Up" and he was in tons of made-for-tv movies. Once he got started I don't think he was ever an out of work actor even to age 91. His list of credits is impressive. IMDB shows a whole list of pre-production films with his name on them so I don't know if that means he completed the work or was about to. Nice to be old and still in demand. Nobody could play a crotchety old fart the way he did. Such a talent, he was.
