Death Impends

Ed Asner

Recommended Posts

Oh Oh I don't see Asner going any time soon. He has too much to live for and to many projects he is still working on. Besides he usually seems too angry with a touch of humor to croak.

 

Here's to him having a long long long life and surpassing all the MTM and Lou Grant costars, Let's try him off in 2031.

Just learned he's joining the cast of The Good Wife (it's an American series with Juliana Margulies). He'll be playing Guy Fawkes....no, wait, Guy Williams....no, that's wrong too....Oh, here it is Guy Redmayne, described as 'disgusting'.

 

EXCLUSIVE! 'The Good Wife' Scoop: Legendary Actor Ed Asner to Play 'Disgusting' New Role

"The 85-year-old will play Guy Redmayne, a mega-donor to Democratic causes, who turns out to be, well for lack of a better word… disgusting. (This is quite a character leap considering Asner consistently graces our TV screens in the holiday season as Santa Clause on Elf!)

The exact date of Asner's Good Wife debut is to be determined, but we know one thing for sure: it's definitely an appearance that you don’t want to miss.

The Good Wife returns Sunday, Jan. 4, 2015 at 9 p.m. on CBS. "

 

Good actor, nice to see he's still getting work.

Looks like Ed is taking the Ronnie Biggs approach to growing old.

He's reminding himself what an erection looks like.

Just realized we now have 3 people from The Mary Tyler Moore Show on the Deathlist this year, lol! If only Cloris Leachman had made the cut too!

Must've been pretty sudden, last tweet was from yesterday.

But there were some signs:

Interview from this month:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/thr-icon-ed-asnwer-golden-age-live-tv-date-mary-tyler-moore-1235002217/

 

He said he feels younger except for his bad leg.

And yet, supposedly "surrounded" by family, so they saw it coming at least a little time before.

tbf to Biblio, my actually breaking news on a genuine A lister dying is a shock to me too. Shame though, Asner was always good value, even in the last decade in US TV shows.
