LadyCrimson 4,040 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I remember Rene best from Benson. I thought he was the funniest thing ever in that show, at the time, the way he straight-man bounced off Robert Guillaume. His DS9 chr. was one of the things I liked about that show. “Things are as they are.
