death tribble Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Some years back there was a big DS9 crowd at the London Film and Comic convention in London. I saw him there with Nana Visitor, Alex Siddig, Avery Brooks, Terry Farrell, Armin Shimmerman and Andy Robinson. I can't recall if I got his autograph. He was also good in Boston Legal. He was always memorable. He was the original Father Mulcahy in MASH (the film not the TV series). Then there was Brewster McCloud and The Eyes of Laura Mars. He also guested in NCIS. May he rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlord Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Metastatic lung cancer does not sound fun. RIP PS: I had forgotten he was the original Father Mulcahy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassandra Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 He was on everything in the 1970s. I remember him hypnotizing Jaclyn Smith, getting caught by Jim Hutton, and going up against Lynda Carter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelCold Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Probably his most iconic role, well to me anyways: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 There was a moment in the first season of DS9 where Odo had found the effort to find the Changeling world he had been brought into had failed. (it was in the episode "Vortex" if you want to look it up). At the end of the episode, Rene looked into the camera, though the prosthetics that hid virtually his entire face, and uttered four words that broke my heart. "Home. Where is it?" Deprived of his ability to use facial expressions and the language cues that went with them, he was still able to powerfully move me (and probably many other viewers) with Odo's sense of longing and loss. That is the mark of a great craftsman. Hermit and Pariah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
