Somehow I posted this in the wrong thread... now it's in the right one

This is a picture of me meeting Rene Auberjonois at a Star Trek Convention. He was a lovely guy and he let me have that picture for free... cos I was there helping friends out on a charity stand, rather than going as a fan so to speak. But somehow in a lull I went off for a wander and ended up talking to him... having changed out of my outfit because I felt a bit self-conscious - not to mention that that thing is incredibly uncomfortable - anyway Rene suggested I put it on again for this picture and the rest is history. It's not my costume but my friend's who's got a lot of them and makes fan-films of Star Trek, as well as doing these charity stands with other Trekkie friends So whenever I go, he just lends me his costume, and sometimes more than others I'm more comfortable wearing it

The most amazing thing about Rene Auberjonois?  He's a frikking Bonaparte (on his mother's side he's descended from Napoleon's youngest sister)!

Wow! I think I did ask him where he was from but I can't remember his answer... I don't think he was French though... I just get this inkling he said Swiss but I may be wrong.
