Ed Asner’s list of legendary roles is long: the curmudgeonly news boss on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and on his own, "Lou Grant;" Santa from Will Ferrel's "Elf," or the crotchedy old man he voiced in "UP." Of course, those are just a handful of more than 600 stage, film and television roles Asner has played over his nearly 60-year career, netting him five Golden Globes, more Emmys than any other male actor ever, and a 2001 Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award. There is a new documentary about his life, and he's on tour with two different stage productions now, including portraying God in a new political comedy called "God Help Us!"
