Auberjonois was a prolific television actor, appearing as Paul Lewiston in 71 episodes of "Boston Legal" and as Clayton Runnymede Endicott III in ABC's long-running sitcom "Benson" — a role that earned him an Emmy nomination for best supporting actor in a comedy in 1984.

He played the shape-shifter Changeling Odo in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" and carried that role into video games, voicing Odo in "Harbinger" and "The Fallen." His appearance as Judge Mantz in ABC's "The Practice" earned him another Emmy nod for guest actor in a drama in 2001.

His guest roles were numerous on classics like "Murder, She Wrote," "The Jeffersons," "The Outer Limits," "L.A. Law," "Stargate SG-1," "Frasier" and the more recent hit "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

His first film role came with "M*A*S*H," in which he played Father Mulcahy in the first of several collaborations with Robert Altman.

He would go on appear in Altman's revisionist Western classic "McCabe & Mrs. Miller," "Brewster McCloud," and "Images." Other film credits included Roy Bagley in 1976's "King Kong" and Reverend Oliver in "The Patriot," as well as parts in "Batman Forever," "Eyes of Laura Mars" and "Walker."

He also played a Colonel in starfleet who was opposed to Klingon peace treaty negotiations in Star Trek the Undiscovered Country.

It certainly looks like they had time to prepare the obituary.

Sean Connery will always be the only "real" James Bond to me. The charachter doesn't make much sense to me outside of the 60s.

“Name of the Rose” is probably my favorite non-bond film of his. Either that or “The Man Who Would Be King”. He made a lot of good stuf after bond.



"Zardoz" is probably the weirdest. Haha!

It looks so much like a porn parody!
Still, it's a payday!

There's a documentary on youtube that I don't have a link for but they reshot the Return of the Jedi scene of Anakin's death using Prowse.
