Ed Asner, the award-winning actor who played Lou Grant on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and went on to become a TV, film, and animation icon, will appear in The Muppets Haunted Mansion, out next month on Disney+. The actor, also known for roles in Roots, Up, and Elf, passed away last month, and The Muppets Haunted Mansion will be his first post-mortem appearance on screen. Since his role in the movie is a cameo appearance, it was not previously disclosed, and does not appear on his IMDb page, where the prolific actor has a number of other projects in various stages of completion and intended for release in 2021 and 2022.
A very special cheer to our good friend Edward Asner! Celebrate his cameo in #MuppetsHauntedMansion and more surprise guests to be revealed soon. The Original Special starts streaming October 8 on @DisneyPlus. #Hallowstream pic.twitter.com/kdovJT1ZVS
