ED ASNER

Long-time activist and American actor Ed Asner’s portrayal of the character Lou Grant in The Mary Tyler Moore Show was his breakout role. In fact, it was such a hit that he was given his own show, Lou Grant. His role as Lou Grant earned him seven Primetime Emmy Awards. He also made history as the first actor to win an Emmy for playing the same character in a drama and a comedy. It doesn’t look like he has plans of retiring soon as he is still very much active, with two upcoming films next year.

In addition, Asner works with and has contributed a portion of his $10 million fortune into foundations for people with autism, as he has a child and a grandchild with autism. He is also politically active as he was part of those who signed for a reinvestigation of the 911 attack in New York. We hope he has made wise investments into getting a good health insurance plan and a comfortable retirement life.
