Happy 90th Birthday Peter Donat!!! 
Born on January 20, 1928 in Kentville, Nova Scotia
Thanks for everything, so far...
One of the all so important small part character actors.
His uncle was British actor Robert Donat. Peter Donat emigrated to the United States in 1950, studied drama at Yale University, and first came to attention as a stage actor in the lead of a production of Cyrano de Bergerac.
In 1965, he was featured in the cast as Vince Conway on Moment of Truth. That series was the only Canadian serial ever broadcast on a commercial television network in the United States.
Movie dubut in low budget Lost Lagoon 1957, The star of that movie was Jeffrey Lynn.
As Questadt in The Godfather, Part II 1974
As Don Jacovich in The China Syndrome 1979
As Mulders father in the popular TV-series The X-Files six times 1995 - 1999
Donat was a prominent member of the American Conservatory Theatre (ACT) in San Francisco for a number of years. He has also been active in local theatre, most notably playing his first singing role as Professor Higgins in the 1988 Cabrillo Stage production of My Fair Lady.
Repeating his stage success for TV as Cyrano in 1974
As a young gentleman of notability.
Sadly I haven't been able to find if he ever met his famous acting Uncle...
