Sad news from Hollywood today, as it appeared that our beloved actor, Peter Donat, is no longer with us.
According to the New York Times, he died Monday due to complications of diabetes.
He was 90 years old.
He is probably best known for his role in Fox's The X-Files in which he played Bill Mulder, Mulder's father (David Duchovny).
Donat appeared for the first time on The X-Files Season 2 and, while his character was killed in the second final, he continued to appear thanks to the power of flashbacks.
In total, he appeared on six episodes, with his last appearance on the drama of science fiction in 1999.

Aside from this show, he has appeared on the Hawaii Five-0, Murder She Wrote, and even Dallas.
He was a beloved actor, and his full resume is testament to that.
But his appearances were not only exclusive to the small screen. He also appeared in The Godfather Part II and The War of the Roses on the big screen.
Duchovny paid tribute to the actor on Saturday afternoon, sharing the following photo via Twitter:

"Peter was easy to interpret and seemed to come from this generation who took the art seriously, but not too seriously," said Duchovny, adding:
"It was an honor to know him and work with him."
We extend our thoughts and prayers to Peter's family and friends.
