Edward Asner

Physique: Stocky Build/Heavyset Height: 5"7" (1.70 m)

Eddie Asner (November 15, 1929 – August 29, 2021), professionally known as Edward Asner, was an American actor and former president of the Screen Actors Guild. He is best remembered for portraying Lou Grant during the 1970s and early 1980s, on both The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its spin-off series Lou Grant, making him one of the few television actors to portray the same character in both a comedy and a drama. He is the most awarded male performer in Emmy history with seven wins, five of them for playing Grant. Asner died on August 29, 2021 at the age of 91.

A television legend, seven time Emmy winner and bear icon, it wasn't until 1993 when I saw him in a rerun of a TV movie called The Family Man that I first took notice of him. He was stout, hairy, masculine and so fuckin sexy. In my mind everything a man should be and an excellent addition to my spank bank. And over the years, Asner's prolific and much honored acting career demonstrates a consummate ability to transcend the line between one of U.S. television's most acclaimed and most controversial actors to unlikely sex symbol.

And I'm sure Asner had been clued into his own furry attractiveness by more than one admirer and was probably comfortable with the idea of being lusted after by other men.

With that being said, He was married twice and had four children, two daughters and a son from his first marriage; and a son from a relationship with Carol Jean Vogelman. He served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, appearing in plays put on for the troops as they toured around Europe. Asner has established himself as one of the most legendary actors alive over the course of his sixty-year career, all while serving in eclectic leadership roles and campaigning for charitable causes.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Ironside (1967–1969) - Shirtless sauna scene. The Wrestler (1974) - Shirtless sauna scene. The Family Man (1979) - Shirtless bed scene. Lou Grant (1977–1982) - Shirtless bed scenes. OHara’s Wife (1982) - Shirtless scene. Anatomy of an Illness (1984) - Shirtless scenes. Mad About You (1996–1997) - Shirtless bath scene. Out of the Woods (2005) - Shirtless scenes. Just Friends (2011) - Shirtless bed scene.

Interesting fact: Ed Asner, who played Carl Fredricksen in Up, and Christopher Plummer, who played Charles Muntz, were both born in 1929 and both died in 2021. What are the odds? Pretty good, since it happened.

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Roland Daggett

One of the most corrupt, unethical and deplorable businessmen to ever menace Gotham City, Roland Daggett would do anything in his efforts to sate his unquenchable greed. And though he did not wear a costume nor sport a catchy alias, Dagget nonetheless proved to be one of Batman’s most dangerous and persistent of foes.

As part of the pharmaceutical wing of his business, Dagget marketed the ‘Renuyu Cream,’ a mutagenic face cream that promised to smooth away wrinkles by making facial skin more malleable. This Renuyu proved unstable, deleterious and highly addictive. Indeed it was a massive overdose of the Renuyu that transformed Matt Hagen into the super villain known as Clayface. Dagget managed to evade criminal charges yet he lost a fortune on his investment in Renuyu.

Next Dagget tried to recoup his loses by investing in real estate in the impoverished Park Row neighborhood of Gotham City. Dagget hired demolitionists to covertly destroy several of the buildings, including the structures that bordered Crime Alley. This would allow for rapid gentrification of Park Row and Dagget could sell back his properties at a huge profit. Once more his scheme was foiled by Batman; and once more Dagget and his lawyers enabled him to avoid culpability. Indeed he managed to turn a profit which was segued into the development of the tony wellness resort called Yucca Springs.

Dagget’s next dastardly scheme saw him hiring Achilles Milo to develop a new and highly virulent strain of rabies that was let loose into the city. Possessing the only cure to this new strain, the outbreak would garner Dagget Pharmaceuticals a fortune. Batman and Catwoman investigated the matter, Professor Milo was taken down and the outbreak was stopped. Yet again Dagget was able to skirt responsibility.

The cad's luck finally ran out when Dagget attempted to frame Catwoman for the theft of a priceless jade statue. Teaming up with Batgirl, Catwoman was able to clear her name and implicate Dagget. This time, the slippery scoundrel was unable to beat the rap and Dagget was sentenced to Stonegate Penitentiary where he resided for the remainder of his days.

The extraordinary Ed Asner provided the voice for Rolland Dagget with the villainous businessman first appearing in the fourth episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘Feat of Clay Part One.’

Season 6 Episode 6: How The Ghosts Stole Christmas This episode is one of the campiest episodes and I love it so much. The old haunted house trope mixed with the dramatic shenanigans of the ghosts. (Lily Tomlin slayed pretty hard) I also just love seeing Scully and Mulder goof around... and shoot each other.

ELVIS FELT BETTER SINGING DIRECTLY TO SOMEONE ON HIS MOVIES 🎬🎠

— BEHIND THE SCENES: 'HAVE A HAPPY' PRODUCTION NUMBER IN 'CHANGE OF HABIT' (1969)

The above 'Have A Happy' production number was filmed on the Universal back lot park (between March and April, 1969).

The scene was in fact shot three times. The first shoot used a small old merry-go-round, which looked out of place. The second shoot had technical problems with the sync and the camera, (The playback system had just been used on 'Sweet Charity', another 1969 movie with, among others, Sammy Davis Jr. on the cast, using quarter inch tape) then after a third attempt, some pick ups were still needed because Amanda (Autistic child character played by Lorena Kirk) wasn't smiling at the end of the number.

About that 'no smile' issue, Cynnie Troup (assistant trainee script supervisor) said:

To get that little girl to smile, oh my god! They had a day of re-takes, after the whole movie was over, after the wrap party, which Elvis was certainly involved. It was not a very good song, that scene was awful. It was tough to match, who sitting on what horse, it wasn't fun scene at all.

youtube

I highly disagree with 'the scene was awful' thing, but possibly Cynnie Troup is talking about the production work behind the cameras and not the final cut properly, but even if those are her thoughts on the final scene, it's a matter of opinion, really. Even though the scene is perceived as 'silly' mainly by adult audience, to me it looks joyful and carefree and personally I enjoy the song very much. The merry-go-round scene is cute, except one of the final moments when Mary Tyler Moore arches her back so slowly while she's silly smiling, looking kinda horny even, and it looks the character is on a acid trip (something common back in the 60s, so it's funny watching her look like that on the movie but it's a just a brief moment). The only thing I say as a viewer that slightly bothers me on the scene is that I get a little dizzy while watching it because of the obvious - the camera work and the actors walking around in that gyrating thing. I can't even imagine how Elvis must have felt filming this, since he is the only actor moving around that merry-go-round the entire time - and they filmed it 3 times fully!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the same scene, Director William A. Graham recalled:

We were shooting this musical number on a merry-go-round where he's taken this little girl to the park. He takes her on the merry-go-round and she's riding around and Elvis is singing to her. Well, she was a very young girl and she could only work for a few hours a day with us getting into all kinds of penalties and overtime. So when it came time to do Elvis' close up the little girl wasn't available to do the offstage. Also, you know, her attention span was not that great. So Elvis said to me, 'I always feel better when I'm singing a song if I can look at somebody and if I can sing to somebody'. He says, 'I wonder if you would mind standing beside the camera and let me sing to you when I do my close ups'. So I had Elvis Presley sing a song directly to me in a movie, and that was quite a thrill.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taking the opportunity since we're mentioning 'Change of Habit', there's one brief interview from elvis.com.au with another actor on the cast of the movie, you can find it in HERE: Interview with Ed Asner (below), who played a cop in 'Change of Habit'.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I shared this article because, watching all the Elvis movies, I often wondered if Elvis felt even slightly shy while having to sing directly at one person over and over again while filming his movies. Yes, he was used to sing to people, obviously, but singing in a movie set while there's more actors in the scene with him is one thing, while singing looking directly at one person (normally his love interests in the movies, all attractive females) is another, so I wondered if he ever felt uncomfortable singing directly at the ladies in his movies but it turns out he probably didn't. He liked it better this way. Haha, funny. ♥
