Variety included Ed Asner in a showcase of guest stars up for Emmy consideration.

As CSI Files previously reported, several actors and actresses were submitted in the "Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series" and "Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series" categories for their stints on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and CSI: New York. Variety's short list names breakout performances from the ballot. Asner was one of the 18 drama guest stars showcased for his role on New York.

In "Yahrzeit", Asner played Abraham Klein, a Jewish clockmaker and Holocaust survivor. The character had a dark secret that was revealed over the course of the investigation: Klein's real name was Klaus Braun. He was a member of the Hitler Youth who pretended to be a Jew in order to hide from his past. In her review for "Yahrzeit", CSI Files' Kristine Huntley said of Asner's role:

: As Abraham/Klaus, Ed Asner turns in a powerful performance, segueing with chilling ease between the adamant Abraham to the decidedly evil Klaus, who goes from proclaiming he's a Jew who was at Auschwitz to stating in German that "we should have killed them all."

The original article is from Variety.

Why can't the CSIs get dates?

	All work and no play makes Greg a blue boy.
	It probably has something to do with the fact that every time Horatio Caine has sex with a woman, she dies.
	Shower sex loses its allure when there's lemons involved.
	These people collect body fluids for a living. Then again, if David the coroner can get laid...
	They can get dates, I bet. We just don't see it.
	Three words: Hank the Skank.
