Sad news out of Hollywood today, as it has emerged that beloved actor, Peter Donat, is no longer with us.
According to The New York Times, he passed away on Monday following complications from diabetes.
He was 90 years old.
He is probably best known for his role on Fox's The X-Files in which he played Bill Mulder, the father of Mulder (David Duchovny).
Donat first appeared on The X-Files Season 2, and while his character was killed off in the sophomore finale, he went on to appear thanks to the power of flashbacks.
In total, he appeared on six episodes, with his final appearance on the sci-fi drama occurring in 1999.
