Ed Asner

Ed Asner had a small but mighty part to play in ‘Elf’ back in 2003.

The late actor starred alongside Will Ferrell, a human who grew up in the North Pole believing he is an elf.

Asner also played Father Christmas in several other projects, including ‘The Story of Santa Claus’ and ‘Christmas on the Bayou’.

'Elf' has gone on to become a holiday classic and has even spawned a musical that has been performed on both Broadway and London's West End.
