Actor. Bit roles on Knots Landing and Murder, She Wrote, appearing in commercials for Brylcreem and Contac cold medicine, and performing in dinner-theater productions of plays like Cactus Flower and The Seven Year Itch. His early TV credits include guest spots on such quintessentially Golden Age shows as 77 Sunset Strip, The Bob Cummings Show (aka Love That Bob), Hawaiian Eye, and The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp.

The year he turned 75, Ashe finally achieved a degree of celebrity. "Micro-celebrity" is probably the better term, since Ashe's new recognition came via the Internet. He was the star of a willfully ridiculous show called Cautionary Tales of Swords, Who's Gonna Train Men, and Shady Acres, all on Channel 101, a popular Los Angeles–based Web site known for its comic film shorts.

Sometime during the 1970's he married Actress Eva Brent, who played Jane in two Tarzan movies and numerous other roles, and remained married until his death. He has a daughter named Deborah Merle.
