crotchety old bastard, but a good actor.

I believe he came from the KC area.

Yes he and his brothers graduated from Wyandotte H.S. His brother Ben owned Capers Corner record store/headshop on Mission Rd. Just down from the Gas Station Joe's KC

Yes he was born in KC.

He led newsrooms back when they had integrity and weren't just chasing ratings.

Wyandotte High School Alum. Not far from my childhood home.

RIP....all you young kids know him as Carl Fredrickson

Hudson from Gargoyles was the 1st show I saw Ed as a regular in a series

He was also Santa Claus in “Elf”.

Last thing I saw him in was Cobra Kai - he played Johnny's asshole stepfather.

RIP

I found Ed Asner's senior year yearbook. Most of the KCK high school yearbooks are now on the Internet.
