This eccentric assortment of very memorable characters all shared a single, singular actor: René Auberjonois, who sadly passed away on Sunday in Los Angeles.
Among television fans today, he’s probably best known today as Odo, the lovably crabby shape-changing constable of the space station on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
His son, Remy Auberjonois, told the Associated Press he died after a battle with metastatic lung cancer.
(According to my colleague Jordan Hoffman, he was also a remarkable guy as well — read his remembrance to hear about his experiences with Auberjonois.)
