Ed Asner obituaryActor and activist who starred as an irascible journalist in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its spinoff drama series Lou Grant RIP, Lou Grant! I love the Mary Tyler Moore show. The character of Lou Grant first fired my interest in journalism, and the character of Ed Asner helped inspire my work in social justice and activism. No single person had that much influence on me. Truly missing him today. Something's not right here. According to imdb, Patty Duke took over from Ed Asner at the SAG. Charlton Heston preceded Asner by more than a decade.
