Even though Mr. Asner was known more for cantankerous roles (Lou Grant, Carl Frederickson, etc.), he had a comic genius that – with a wink of his eye – showed the mischievous boy living within the man. He has been one of this fan’s favorites for many years and he will be sorely missed. Prayers going out to his family.

I literally just watched UP last night. I had never watched the full movie before.
Sorry to hear this…

Loved Ed Asner. But this article has it wrong. Ed will always been known as Lou Grant from the Mary Tyler Moore show.

He’s also in Grace and Frankie. What an amazing man, basically working right up till the end!
