Veteran character actor Peter Donat, best known in recent years for playing
Agent Mulder's father on The X-Files, has died at the age of 90.
 
Donat passed away on Monday at his California home of complications from
diabetes, according to The New York Times. He made his X-Files debut as
Bill Mulder in Season 2's "Colony," and reprised the role in five
subsequent episodes, concluding with Season 6's "One Son." (Bill
Mulder was dramatically killed off in the Season 2 finale, but continued to
appear via flashback.)
 
Enjoying a screen career that spanned six decades, Donat also made
appearances on Dallas (as the doctor who treated J.R. Ewing after he was
wounded in the famous "Who Shot J.R.?" cliffhanger), Murder, She
Wrote, Hill Street Blues, Charlie's Angels and the original Hawaii Five-O.
His film roles include The Godfather Part II, The China Syndrome and The
War of the Roses.
 
I liked him in many things, not the least of which was as the narator in
the movie Meteor.
 
 
Regards,
 
Roger
