Oh no. Terrible.

Odo was what kept me going through those first few seasons of DS9.

Sad news RIP

I was telling the Missus last night that it's been a pretty sh*tty week for Star Trek, and then comes news of Rene Auberjonois.

Plus Marina Sirtis's husband, very hard week for Trek.

Stunned and upset by this news, Odo was an incredible character in my favourite TV show ever. I was browsing TV channels on Sunday and happened across an episode of Hart To Hart with Rene in.

I saw him at a couple of conventions. He was funny and very easy to talk with. Now I have to go home and watch some DS9 episodes.

CouncilSpectre · 12-09-2019, 02:47 PM

This one hits hard.

RIP and thanks for the wonderful memories Rene.

Thoughts with his family and friends.

Charlie X is my favourite episode of TOS, so I was very sad to hear the news that Robert Walker Jr. had passed away. I also had no idea that he was the son of Jennifer Jones until I read about his family history.

Rich65 · 12-09-2019, 03:56 PM

I met Mr. Auberjonois 3 different times at conventions and he was always the nicest guy. He will always be in the hearts of fans. The last time I saw him he signed this for me.

R.I.P to a great guy and wonderful actor.

Moviefan2k4 · 12-10-2019, 03:12 AM

I met Mr. Auberjonois at a convention, maybe eight or ten years ago. He was nice enough, but our exchange was very brief. This is a sad day for Trek fans, to be sure.

I remember Rene Auberjonois for his role on the sitcom, "Benson". He was a fine actor and comedian. RIP.

So sad to hear. Just watched King Kong '76...and how was he uncredited for his role of Colonel West in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country?

That one was written by Dorothy C Fontana. Special timing on that one!

He was not in the original theatrical version at all, just the extended/home video/Director's Cut/whatever they're calling it these days.

It's been a tough couple of weeks for the Trek community.
