However, Asner had a remarkably active film and television career, amassing 418 screen credits and 7 Emmy awards in his lifetime.
Over the years, his feature films have included “JFK,” “El Dorado,” and the part of Santa Claus in “Elf.” He also frequently appeared as a guest star on episodes such as “Grace and Frankie,” “The Good Wife,” “Cobra Kai,” and “Modern Family.”
Asner was also a popular voice actor, his enthusiastic, grumpy performance as Carl Fredericksen in “Up” endeared him to a generation of kids who had never heard of Lou Grant. He continued to perform on stage and in films until his d3ath in 2021 at the age of 91. In one of his most recent interviews with TV Insider, he stated, “I take energy from working.”
