he was in so many cartoons also… I think at one point in the 80s/90s he almost quit physical acting because HB had him working 18 hours a day
It’s a weird thing for me to remember, but Rene also played The Duke in Big River, the Broadway musical adaptation of Huckleberry Finn. We have the original cast album, and his voice is clearly recognizable in a couple of songs. It was the first time that I realized that he sang.
He was terrific in DS9, and will be missed. RIP.
Just to add that he was in Boston Legal too…
He’s been reading several of the Douglas Preston /Lincoln Childs “Agent Pendergast” audiobooks over the past few years. He’s apparently done a lot of voice work, narrating and doing cartoon voices, as well.
I remember him in the awful 1976 King Kong, but completely missed him in the Altman MASH and the TV Birdmen movie.
Had memorable guest roles on The Bob Newhart Show and The Rockford Files, too.
He claimed to have ad-libbed that line in one of the rehearsals and it just stuck.
I learned in reading his obit that he used to sign photos of Odo’s bucket at convention appearances.
He also had a cameo at the end of Batman Forever as the director of Arkham Asylum.
He voiced the “Les Poissons” song in The Little Mermaid.
The original script had (lifted pretty much word for word from the novel):
Hot Lips: I wonder how a degenerated person like you could have reached a position of responsibility in the Army Medical Corps.
Hawkeye: Sister, if I knew the answer to that I sure as hell wouldn’t be here.
I saw him on Broadway as the lead in City of Angels. Great actor.
Heh, now that you mention it, I remember him as DeSaad (Darkseid’s sadistic evil-scientist minion) in the later versions of Super Friends.
I remember hearing about his casting as Odo in the early pre-production days of DS9, and thinking “Really? HIM??” A lot of the characters he had played up to then were foppish, if not downright wimps.
Comes the first episode of DS9, where he slam’s Nog’s burglary accomplice into the wall, then marches right up to Sisko and growls “I don’t allow phasers on the Promenade!” Never mind, I backpedal, forget I said anything.
I continued to be impressed with Rene all throughout DS9 (and after) but I will always hold one line he delivered close to my heart:
“Do they still sing songs about The Great Tribble Hunt?!”
RIP, Mr. Auberjonois. 
<nitpick>I think it was his breviary (a book that contains readings which priests typically recite as part of their daily routine).</nitpick>
The scene that comes to mind is when Father Mulcahy happens upon Our Gang while they’re listening to Hot Lips and Frank going at it hot ‘n’ heavy via a mike that had been slipped into the tent. At first he thinks they’re listening to the “Battling Bickersons;” his take when he realizes what he’s hearing is priceless.
“Blessing the jeep,” was his idea.
Odo is part of the Great Link now.
RIP, dear Odo.
RIP, Odo.
Honestly, though, I’ll always remember Rene for delivering a great zinger* on The Rockford Files:
Some jerk [having just been offended] In my father’s day, we would be in the bois with pistols.
Rene’s character Oh? You know who he was?
I confess that the implication of Masters’ line didn’t hit me until about 15 seconds after it was said. I blame the gratuitous French in the set-up line.
*considering it was prime time network TV in 1979.
To quote a GI on the TV series: “I’m sorry, Father. I’m not Catholic.”* 
*To which the other Fr Mulcahy (William Christopher) replied: “Would you like to be?” :o
Damn.
Now I’m not going to be able to ruthlessly murder his character in Fallout: New Vegas without feeling a twinge of guilt.
