I just learned of the death of my friend and fellow actor @reneauberjonois. Summarizing his life in one tweet is almost impossible. Judith, Tessa & Remy I send my love and strength. I will keep you in my thoughts and remember a wonderful friendship with René. “Goodbye@reneauberjonois – you were the first and the best! #RIP BOSS LOUIS,” wrote Stamos, 56. Star Trek colleagues from Auberjonois expressed their grief over the loss of their friend on Twitter. William Shatner wrote: “I just learned of the death of my friend and fellow actor @reneauberjonois. Summarizing your life in one tweet is almost impossible. He then joined another Star Trek legend, William Shatner, in the cast of Boston Legal and played the managing partner of the Boston office and legal counsel to Crane, Poole & Schmidt. In an interview with Compassion & Choices magazine, Judith Auberjonois revealed that René underwent chemotherapy for lung cancer in 2018.
[17] In 2019, it was discovered that the cancer had spread to her brain. Due to the potential for serious cognitive side effects, Auberjonois decided not to pursue the whole brain radiation therapy suggested by his doctors. [17] In the 1980s, in “Benson,” an ABC sitcom in which Robert Guillaume went from butler to lieutenant governor as the main character for seven seasons, Mr. Auberjonois was Clayton Endicott III, a chief of staff as important as his name, but also painfully insecure. In 1989, young moviegoers got to know him or his voice in “The Little Mermaid,” in which he was the cook who sings “The Fishes,” a joyfully cruel song about preparing fish for cooking. — William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) 8. December 2019 René Auberjonois, a wanted actor whose hundreds of roles include an official assistant governor in “Benson,” an alien security guard in “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” a managing partner in “Boston Legal” and a con man who puts Huck Finn in hot water in the Broadway musical “Big River,” died Sunday at his Los Angeles home. He was 79. Jayne Brook, who played her daughter in “Boston Legal” and starred in “Chicago Hope,” in which Auberjonois was a guest, expressed grief over her death.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and many fans. May he rest in peace. Auberjonois has appeared as a voice actor in a number of popular video games. He lent his voice to Janos Audron in the series Legacy of Kain (2001-2003); the enigmatic Mr. House in Fallout: New Vegas (2010); Karl Schafer in the Uncharted video game series; and Odo in Star Trek Online (2018 expansion). René Auberjonois, known for his roles in “Boston Legal” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” died of metastatic lung cancer at his home in Los Angeles. He was 79. Mr. Auberjonois was an amateur artist who loved to draw, paint, photograph and sculpt. At Star Trek conventions, he sometimes sold custom cartoons to fans, with proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders, a popular charity.
Auberjonois was also known for his talking roles, notably in the 1989 Disney Renaissance hit “The Little Mermaid,” in which he voiced Chief Louis and sang the memorable “Les Poissons.” Fans of “The Princess Diaries” would recognize him as the voice of Mia Thermopolis` father, Prince Philippe Renaldi, in an anonymous role. His starring roles on long-running television shows spanning three decades — “Benson” in the 1980s, “Deep Space Nine” in the 1990s and “Boston Legal” in the 2000s — made him the kind of star whose face was familiar to millions, even if they might not have been able to give him a name right away. In nearly 60 years as a professional actor, he was rarely in demand. René Auberjono is a true gentleman and passionate artist who has been passed on to the next understanding and will be missed so much. I was honored to have worked with him on Windows On The World, his penultimate film. He delivered an amazing rendition of NY NY – a brilliant artist #sswa #RIP pic.twitter.com/KR5PKylNZe Another recipient of his work was William Shatner, his co-star in “Boston Legal,” who became a close friend. The two men shared a “Star Trek” connection, Mr. Shatner had Captain James T.
Kirk in the original television series. Auberjonois died of lung cancer, according to Variety. He was 79. Although Auberjonois will no longer be part of the regular line-up next season, it is possible that he will return as a guest star in the future. Previously, Lake Bell had also been removed from the regular cast, but she has already returned to the series a few times in a guest role. However, at the end of season 3 in the spring of 2007, the producers decided to cut Paul Lewiston, and René was fired from the cast. Later that summer, Rene was informed that the writers hoped to bring Paul back as a recurring guest star for several episodes of Season 4. In other words, he was back where he started when the show started! In September 2007, René shot his first guest shot of the season and appeared in various episodes until the end of the series. The speakers from Auberjonois also included stories from books. At the age of 16, Mr. Houseman found him an apprenticeship at the American Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, Connecticut.
He graduated from the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) in 1962 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Auberjonois played Father Mulcahy in the original film adaptation of M*A*S*H. His next film roles include gangster Tony in Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach (1988) and Reverend Oliver in The Patriot (2000). He has made appearances in a number of films, including: Dr. Burton, a Tim Burton-inspired psychiatrist, in Batman Forever (1995) and a bird expert who gradually transforms into a bird in Robert Altman`s 1970 film Brewster McCloud. In 1991, he played the role of Colonel West in the film Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

He voiced General Zod in Joseph Ruby-Kenneth Spears` animated series Superman titled “The Hunter.” After Auberjonoi`s death, John Stamos – last month`s Chief Louis in The Little Mermaid Live! – paid tribute on Twitter and posted side by side the animated character and Auberjonois.
