Donald Moffat, a prolific character actor with over 200 credits who appeared on Broaday, film and television during a career spanning nearly fifty years, died Thursday in Sleepy Hollow, New York. The actor suffered a recent stroke, his daughter told the New York Times.
Born in England in 1930, Moffat studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and began his career at the Old Vic Theatre company in London before briefly quitting acting to move to the United States in 1956 with his American-born first wife. After several months working odd jobs, Moffat returned to acting, eventually making the jump to a successful career on Broadway. He was nominated for Tony for Best Actor in a Play in 1967 for roles in “The Wild Duck” and “Right You Are If You Think You Are.”
