Though widely known for his seven-time, Emmy-winning role as Lou Grant on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” Ed Asner is garnering high praise for his performance in the one-man drama, “FDR,” based upon Dore Schary’s Broadway hit “Sunrise at Campobello.” Asner, as FDR, takes the audience through the iconic president’s White House years including the Great Depression, the steps leading up to World War II and the war years.

Asner delivers a fearless performance, illustrating why this president was known as “that man in the White House,” scorned by many and admired by most.
