For years I viewed Ed Asner simply as an actor, a talented and engaging actor. In the past few years I have become more and more aware of Ed Asner, as humanitarian, as political activist, etc. Good health and continued success for him and also for his family.
He taught me an excellent lesson, don't give all these extremist, right wing outlets and advocates the legitimacy of recognition as anything other than what they are. Piss of Fox News and all these other right wingers.
Thanks Ed Asner, many years and health rain down on you.
