A large contingent of FFRF staff members came down to greet Ed Asner during his visit. He was in Madison to perform as the lead role of God in the political comedy play, “God Help Us.” Asner is also known famously as the voice of Carl Fredricksen in the animated movie “Up,” and as Santa Claus in the comedy “Elf.” Since 1957, Asner has been in more than 60 movies and 200 TV shows. He identifies as agnostic. (Photo by Chris Line)
