René Auberjonois has died

[BillJ]

RIP Mr. Auberjonois.

One of the best actors to ever walk onto a Trek set.

 

[flandry84]

Instantly recognisable and yet so able to immerse himself in a role.
Condolences to his family.

 

[Unimatrix Q]

This is a really sad day!
Can't believe what i have read moments ago.

Rest in Peace, Mr Auberjonois.

Condolences to his family.

Happy he lived a full life but so sad to see him go. It's never going to feel the same watching DS9 now.

RIP René Auberjonois...

RIP René Auberjonois.

Thank you for giving us the wonderful character Odo and for your wonderful acting.

Very sad news. I got to meet him last year on the Star Trek cruise; we shared an elevator after he had just participated in an evening show. He was kind and humble, and even though I'd not seen much of DS9, he ended up being my favorite cast member that I met on the cruise.

It wasn't just him as Odo for me. I remember him as the French chef in "The Little Mermaid," and a few other voice roles, too.

Indeed. Every small part he stood out. He even played a villain in a film that just stood out, because there was a hint of gold inside that villain performance.

My favorite role, if I could pick one, was him as Mr. House from the video game New Vegas. Another interesting role with such a gravitas to it. Even in a video game appearance Rene's talent shined through.

R.I.P.

First thing I remember him in is MASH, but over the years, there's been so much

 

[Son of Quark]

Damn..R.I.P. Mr Auberjonois. Nog- Aron Eisenberg died September 21 - that's two now in the last few months.

 

[Kilana2]

Even if you don't believe in them: Walk with the Prophets, Odo!

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Fuck. Just. Fuck.

 

[lurok]

I feel Rene would love this as a tribute to his characterisation of Odo. You watch all his interviews and he's NOT the sentimental type. Just a great actor/director.

 

[Reanok]

Thanks Rene bringing to life one of my favorite Ds9 characters. This is such shocking news. My Condolences to his wife and kids.And his ds9 family too.

I am most terribly sorry to see the old wisdom 'Death Comes in Threes' proven accurate once again - it would be impossible not to miss Mr Auberjonois' excellence in any case, but coming so hard on the heels of those other Trek-related demises makes this a pill all the more bitter to swallow.

Requiescat in Pace.

I have been mostly lurking on these forums, seems forever. When I learned of his death I thought of you. I remembered your username. I am glad you got to met him.

You're not the first to tell me that I came to mind when they heard the news.



I'm glad I got to meet him, too. I guess its fortunate - my top three favorite characters are Odo, Spock & Data, and I have met Rene, Leonard Nimoy (2009 Star Trek premiere screening) & Brent Spiner (scifi con in Plano, TX) .

 

[od0_ital]

You need to add in Nog as well....

The Nog figure sucks, though. It came as an accessory for Rom, isn't possable, and I can't even get mine to stand up on its own half the time.

 

[Zod]

I won't be able to get through this without getting emotional.

losing a member of the Trek family is always hard.

Rene was a great actor and wonderful person. We keep losing folks this year! What a lousy week

I will have to watch some of my favorite Odo eps....

RIP

 

[kkt]

I picked an Odo episode pretty much arbitrarily among his many great episodes, "Improbable Cause". Great interactions with Garak, Deep Throat the unknown Cardassian, Sisko, and the creepy fragrance dealer assassin.

 

[Random_Spock]

RIP sir, I remember him from Boston Legal. He was such a good actor.
