Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on June 01, 1940)

Happy birthday to the incomparable Rene Auberjonois! Whether keeping order aboard Deep Space Nine as Odo, or bringing laughs and charm as Clayton Endicott III on "Benson," you've always been a shapeshifter of talent. Your ability to morph seamlessly from drama into comedy has left us all amazed—and occasionally suspicious that you might actually be part changeling.

From your unforgettable portrayal in Star Trek: DS9—where stern looks spoke louder than words—to your comedic timing on Benson, each role became iconic thanks to your unique blend of wit and warmth. Here's hoping today brings fewer Ferengi schemes and more cake!

Cheers!
