Asner, Ed (1088 words)
Asner came to Hollywood in 1961, where he received a steady stream of roles, including his first episodic work in the series Slattery's People, which ran on CBS in the 1964-65 season.
Asner's big break came when he was spotted by MTM Enterprises co-founder Grant Tinker in an ABC Made-for-TV movie; Tinker asked Mary Tyler Moore Show creators James L. Brooks and Alan Burns to consider Asner for the role of Mary's boss, the gruff-yet-lovable Lou Grant.
Asner's political agenda widened, and, in the face of a growing right-wing national sentiment highlighted by the 1980 election of Ronald Regan, Asner became increasingly vocal against U.S. public policy, including that affecting U.S. involvement in Latin America.
