Sad news. I agree with @Barbara Belle Of The Ball, I didn't know anything about him as well but his TV and film appearances were always memorable. Loved him in "Boston Legal" with James Spader, William Shatner and Candice Bergen and I also remember him from "The Eyes of Laura Mars" where he co-starred opposite Ms. Dunaway (as mentioned above).
I'm on another ST re-watch and DS9 will be next on my list. That's goodnight to Odo and Nog.

I always remember him as Clayton Endicott in the excellent TV sitcom Benson.

I also remember him best as Clayton, Benson's main comedic foil. I recall one episode where Clayton became so upset over Benson winning some award that he (Clayton) had a sort of mini-breakdown and started behaving as if he was Benson, adopting Robert Guillaume's "Benson DuBois" mannerisms and even showing up to work in brownface (it was ~1984) and referring to himself as Benson. RA actually nailed most of Guillaume's style so well that even Benson had to keep looking aside to others and saying (essentially) "I really do that??" To get Clayton to snap out of it, the psychiatrist had to have Benson dress up as and imitate Clayton so they could have an 'encounter'. It was a thin story but an acting challenge for both actors (but mostly RA).
Now "Benson" (Guillaume), "Governor Gatling" (James Noble) and "Clayton" (Auberjonois) are all up in heaven, bickering over governing that state they never identified.
