RIP RENE AUBERJONOIS...

As the shapeshifting Odo, you became an icon through "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". 

However, your many portrayals have long set you apart in the acting field  before and after "Trek", where you added depth, humor and contemplation to your roles.

On the big screen, you gave noted performances in "King Kong '76"; "Batman Forever"; "Inspector Gadget"; "Eyes of Laura Mars"; "McCabe and Mrs. Miller"; "The Birdmen"; "The Princess Diaries"; "The Patriot (2000)"; "M*A*S*H"; "Brewster McCloud"; and "The Big Bus", but you were even more prolific on the small screen. 

Among the fine series in which you were featured, there's "Star Trek: Enterprise"; "Stargate SGI"; "The Bionic Woman"; "Wonder Woman"; "Night Gallery"; "The Outer Limits"; "Eerie Indiana"; "Warehouse 13"; "Charlie's Angels"; "The Mod Squad"; "The Rockford Files"; "Harry O"; "Starsky and Hutch"; "L.A. Law"; and of course, "Boston Legal" and "Benson". 

You also loaned your expressive voice to a number of audio books and video games, as well as "The Last Unicorn" and  Disney's "The Little Mermaid".

You spanned many creative sources, Mr. Auberjonois, and did them all tender-loving justice: an actor of many talents, who never failed to put a special spin on the most special of pursuits.
