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
