And for sci-fi fans of the 1990s and convention-goers ever since, he was Odo, the shape-shifting Changeling and head of space-station security on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.”“I am all of those characters, and I love that,” Auberjonois said in a 2011 interview with the “Star Trek” website. After graduating in 1962 from Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon), Mr. Auberjonois hopped around the country joining theater companies, eventually landing three roles on Broadway in 1968, including as the Fool in a long-running version of King Lear. A Bible-reading Mr. Auberjonois deadpans, “He was drafted.”“I actually made that line up when we were rehearsing the scene,” Mr. Auberjonois said on the podcast “The Gist” in 2016. ADMr. Auberjonois was also a regular on the ABC law-firm dramedy “Boston Legal” from 2004 to 2008. In addition to his son, he is survived by his wife of 56 years, the former Judith Mihalyi; a daughter, Tessa Auberjonois; two sisters; and three grandchildren.
