It was spearheaded by Ed Asner, whose son Matt serves as executive director of Southern California for Autism Speaks. In addition to Ed Asner, participating celebrities in the 2012 campaign included Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman, Carrie Fisher, Tom Hanks, Derek Jeter, Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, Patrick Stewart and Betty White."Last year, I got together with Matt and we discussed what my friends and I could do to support the important work of Autism Speaks," Ed Asner said in a statement Friday. "We decided that bringing together a group of celebrities with great voices to do a kind of 'voiceathon' would be a fun way to raise awareness and funds for the autism community. The campaign was such an overwhelming success and received so much positive feedback we had to do it again."
