He is known for portraying Father Mulcahy in the film version of ''M *A *S *H'', Chef Louis in ''The Little Mermaid'' (and singing "Les Poissons"), and for originating a number of characters in long-running television series, including Clayton Endicott III on ''Benson'' (for which he was nominated for an Emmy Award), Odo on ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'', and Paul Lewiston on ''Boston Legal''. He also lent his voice as Flannigan the human director in ''Cats Don't Dance''. ==Early life== Auberjonois was born in New York City, New York. His father, Swiss-born Fernand Auberjonois (1910–2004), was a Cold War-era foreign correspondent and Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer. His paternal grandfather, also named René Auberjonois, was a Swiss post-Impressionist painter. His mother, Laure Louise Napoléone Eugénie Caroline Murat (1913-1986), was a great-great granddaughter of Joachim Murat, one of Napoleon's marshals and King of Naples during the First French Empire, and his wife Caroline Bonaparte, Napoleon's youngest sister. His maternal grandmother, Hélène Macdonald Stallo (1893–1932), was an American, from Cincinnati, Ohio; his maternal grandfather's mother was a Russian noblewoman, Eudoxia Michailovna Somova (1850–1924), and his maternal grandfather's paternal grandmother, Caroline Georgina Fraser (1810–1879) who was married to Prince Napoleon Lucien Charles Murat, was an American, from Charleston, South Carolina. Auberjonois has a sister and a brother, and two half-sisters from his mother's first marriage. His family moved to Paris after World War II, where at an early age he decided to become an actor. After a few years in France, the family moved back to the U.S. and joined an artists' colony in Rockland County, New York, whose residents included Burgess Meredith, John Houseman and Helen Hayes. The Auberjonois family also lived in London where Auberjonois completed high school while studying theatre. To complete his education, Auberjonois attended and graduated from the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) in 1962. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「René Auberjonois」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
