He was perfectly cast in both Benson and Star Trek, Deep Space 9. In recent years, he was superb as the audiobook reader for the Doug Preston/Lincoln Child Pendergas series. I'm really going to miss him.

Since I've started watching DS9 again, two of the actors have died. I feel like I should stop. I know he did many things, but he'll always be Odo to me. RIP.

Such a great character actor. He’ll be missed.

[Drazzil]

Been expecting this for a while.

[Smoove_B]

Whoa, I had no idea he was Mr. House in Fallout: New Vegas.

Can we get a wellness check on Avery Brooks, please?

Can we get a wellness check on Avery Brooks, please?

If I see him at work, I'll ask.

[Isgrimnur]

Inga Swenson, Missy Gold, Ethan Phillips, and Didi Conn are still around.

[Jeff V]

Not sure about the others, but wasn't Ethan Phlilips ST: Voyager?

[Isgrimnur]

Neelix, yes.

[Jeff V]

Thought so. I hoped Smoove's death vibes were limited to DS-9 and not all things Star Trek. Although the demise of D.C. Fontana could indicate Smoove is wreaking havoc among the entire franchise. And if that's the case...someone please get The Shat under preemptive medical care!

RIP. I've seen him in more shows than I can remember.

It was the cast of Benson.

He has looked old and feeble for years to me. Always surprises me to see pics of him and remember him as the badass of DS9.

This death is shocking to me. I thought he was doing great. Wasn't he a part of the recent documentary reunion thing for DS9? Its funny Ive always thought of him as old. I guess it was the age difference in me and him. As a child I thought he was old on Benson. When I saw he was going to be in DS9 I thought why did they hire such an old man for that part. It wasn't until lately I felt he was younger than I ever thought and doing well. Now he is gone. Sad.

RIP. Goodbye René and thanks for all the character entertainment you provided in my years.

Marina Sirtis announced on Twitter her husband died last night.

[Rumpy]

Oh man, this one's a gut-punch. He was an incredibly gifted actor. I'd actually start getting worried for William Shatner at this point.

Marina Sirtis announced on Twitter her husband died last night.

That made me do a double-take as I first thought she might have meant Johnathan Frakes aka her husband in Nemesis.

79 is a good long run, and he leaves behind a lot of work that people will continue to enjoy for many years. Of course, he'll always be Odo to me.

[LawBeefaroni]

Father Mulcahy?

[Blackhawk]

Ouch. I just finished a run of DS9 a few months ago (the umpteenth one for me, but the first for the kids.) It's been a bad year for Star Trek. Aron Eisenberg, DC Fontana, Barbara March, and now Rene Auberjonois.

[Scuzz]

Father Mulcahy?

In the movie. I had forgotten that was him.

[Isgrimnur]

Speaking of Star Trek deaths.......

Charlie X is no more. In a strange twist Charlie X was penned by DC Fontana.

I remember him more from the sequel to the Jack Lemon/Henry Fonda movie called Mister Roberts. Walker Jr played Ensign Pulver in the sequel titled Ensign Pulver. No, it wasn't a great movie but it used to be on Saturday afternoons back in the day.

[Isgrimnur]

I may have to seek that out, as Mister Roberts is one of my favorites. But I have a hard time getting over his oddly-shaped head.
