| 5 | René Murat Auberjonois (June 1, 1940 – December 8, 2019) was an American actor, singer and voice artist. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Born in New York City and raised in Paris, Auberjonois came from distinguished stock. His father was a UsefulNotes/PulitzerPrize-winning foreign correspondent, while his paternal grandfather and namesake was a prominent Swiss post-impressionist painter. On his mother's side of the family, he was the great-great-great-grandnephew of UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte, whose sister Caroline married Joachim Murat, one of Napoleon's most famous generals. |

| 9 | In films, Auberjonois portrayed Father Mulcahy in Creator/RobertAltman's ''Film/{{MASH}}'' and provided the voice of Chef Louis in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'', in which he sang "Les Poissons". He also voiced Flanagan, the human film director of "Li'l Ark Angel", in ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance''; the mysterious Mojave mogul Mr. House in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''; and the ancient vampire Janos Audron in the ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'' series. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | But perhaps his most familiar role would be as Security Chief Odo in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''. Other TV roles included Clayton Endicott III on ''Series/{{Benson}}'' and Paul Lewiston on ''Series/BostonLegal''. He also lent his voice to many animated series, including ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGobots'' (as Dr. Braxis), ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies2010'' (as [=McLeish=]), WesternAnimation/PepeLePew in ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', and [[ComicBook/NewGods Desaad]] for the final two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/SuperFriends'' (the ''[[MerchandiseDriven Super Powers]]'' era) and many years later in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' ([[TheOtherDarrin replacing]] Creator/RobertMorse from ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries''), where he also voiced space pirate Kanjar Ro. In 2018 he reprised the role of Odo for ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline''[='s=] ''Victory Is Life'' expansion. |

| 13 | After Auberjonois died of metastatic lung cancer in 2019, ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'''s players honored him with [[https://www.startrek.com/news/star-trek-online-remembers-rene-auberjonois an in-game candlelight vigil]]. |

| 15 | His son, Creator/RemyAuberjonois, is an actor in his own right. |
