I saw him last month in What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a documentary about his Star Trek series. It was not a bad watch if you liked the original show. It gets tiresome if you didn't see DSN. Based on the title, I'm rating it "::" two colons.

My favorite line from Renee Auberjonois (from the Big Bus). “where is your god now, old woman?”

[BillyBoy]

To me (80s baby), that means the guy who played Big Bird on Sesame Street for 50 years and the guy who voiced the French Chef and did the classic "Les Poissons" scene with Sebastian the Crab in The Little Mermaid.

Sucky day, part of my childhood died.

Just checked the IMDB and it looks like from the main cast of Benson, only Inga Swenson and Missy Gold are the only ones still around (along with Didi Conn and Ethan Phillips) as Robert Guillaume, James Noble, Caroline McWilliams, and now Rene Auberjonois have now passed.

[Not A Snowbird]

I did not know that!

Lewis J. Stadlen is still around. I guess he was replaced by Auberjonois in the second season.

UGH. The Freeper celebrity ghoul patrol.
Twice ?! Who cares. Who cares.

Rene Auberjonois played an alien with heavy makeup that made him virtually unrecognizable on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".

Ethan Phillips played an alien with heavy makeup that made him virtually unrecognizable on "Star Trek: Voyager"

[Bonemaker]

America is going bye-bye in so many ways.

[Rustybucket]

Only in the 1st movie, William Christopher was the priest in the TV series, also now deceased.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

RIP Odo. Loved him on ST:DS9 and Benson.

First Star Trek: Deep Space Nine main cast member to pass away.

• Caroll Spinney Dies: Actor Who Portrayed Sesame Street's Big Bird And Oscar The Grouch Was 85

[BillyBoy]

No, that would be Aron Eisenberg as Nog, who passed away just a few months ago at the age of only 50.
