Rene Auberjonois Says Deep Space Nine is Over

Features

By GustavoLeao / 20:02, 8 October 2007 / Deep Space Nine

The latest issue of SFX magazine, just out in the UK, features a brief interview with former Star Trek Deep Space Nine actor Rene Auberjonois, now a regular on Boston Legal. Here are a few excerpts.

Would you ever want to go back to the role of Odo ?

I think it's over. One never says never, but I can't imagine it happening, so I don't really think about it. I'm a character actor and I played a lot of characters before I played Odo and I've played a lot of characters since I played Odo, so I just keep plying my wares.

Where do you think Odo would be now ?

He's in the goo. Whatever he's doing he's there, taking care of business with his people, trying to get them to not be so paranoid.

Would any of Odo's skills have helped you in real life ?

In a sense I have some of them because I'm a character actor !

The B5 spin-offs were all duds. Better to leave it and just have another 24th-century show with cameos.

I loved DS9, which is why I don't want a film | Report this post to moderator

DS9 had a complete story to tell. It had closure. Yes I would love more, but look at the last batch of Trek material that's come out. Every TNG film has been a disgrace to the franchise, especially the last, which may as well have had a giant Warbird sodomizing the 1701-E.

Lets not forget our final goodbye with These Are the Voyages.

Yes, I would love more DS9, but not if its going to be raped without a kiss like the rest of the franchise.

Though Auberjonois' Boston Legal character has been dropped from the regular cast of the show, he expects to be invited back as a recurring guest star for several episodes this season. Rene has already filmed his first appearance, currently scheduled to air as episode 8, perhaps sometime in November.

Rene and Nana Visitor are scheduled to appear at Vulkon Cleveland Sci-Fi Expo, October 19-21, for Q&A, autographs, and a performance of Love Letters on the Saturday night.

What? The show ended? | Report this post to moderator

Well, DS9 may be over...but that just means I'm going to lobby for Rene to reprise his role as Clayton Endicott the Third!

In all seriousness, Rene is a great actor, and I enjoy seeing him in everything he does. He brought a lot of dignity and depth to Odo, where someone else might have made the character look completely silly and false.

It's over, but can we still be friends? | Report this post to moderator

I have to agree. As much as I would love to see a DS9 movie, that isn't going to happen. Even the more sensible and realistic dream of a DVD movie or mini-series doesn't seem very sensible or realistic at the moment. But DS9 was an excellent show and I still love throwin' in the DVD sets here and there. So I'm thankful for that.

Who knows maybe down the road we can get back together. :P

There once was a man named Scorned,

whose posts were more offensive than porn.

He posted one too many,

got kicked out on his fanny,

and all the while he had been warned.
