Rest In Peace, Ed Asner
Aug. 29th, 2021 03:20 pmEd Asner passed away earlier today at the age of 91. May he rest in peace.
I will forever remember him not just as Lou Grant...but as Granny Goodness from over on Justice League Unlimited. (And apparently he also voiced the character in Superman: The Animated Series, and Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.) Until just now reading through his filmography over on IMDB, I never realized he was the voice of J. Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, or Hudson over on Gargoyles.
Right before I heard the news, I was watching him in an old episode (with Barbara Stanwyck) of The Untouchables, as part of the marathon they do every Sunday over on Heroes And Icons. IMDB tells me it was one of four episodes he popped up in (mostly different characters; he played Frank twice) called Search For A Dead Man; it originally aired in 1963.
