God Damn. This was unexpected. 79 isn't that young, but for some reason it never really occurred to me that he was that old.

He had a huge role on DS9, and brought so much to the show.

Rest in peace.

I just heard about this, sad indeed. He was also in an episode of Enterprise, and SG-1. STO players are gathering outside the DS9 security office in tribute.

Damn. He will be missed. I am glad he got to reprise his role as Odo for some STO episodes.

Also played "Colonel West" in ST:VI.

May the Great Link embrace him once more in peace.
