He appeared in several productions at Perth Rep in his early days, which is located across the High Street and a handful of yards from the old site of Rattray's. Those who saw him act spoke glowingly and with considerable pride of his performances. I only ever saw him in the fillums; great actor, if he was in it, it was a go-see.

It's sad that he's passed, but he had a very good innings.

Sorry to hear it. He was always one of my favorite actors...a lot of memorable scenes in so many films I enjoyed. The two that pop into my head first are Kelly's Heroes and Space Cowboys...but numerous others as well...including small parts such as in JFK where he still had a big impact with only a short time on screen.

RIP Donald.

He is often regarded as the finest actor never to have been nominated for an Academy Award. An all-around great versatile actor who shamefully should not have held that distinction. He will certainly be missed. RIP.

WOW, so sad, the Timbre of his voice, it’s character, I can hear it in my head now. I always loved watching him on the screen…

RIP Donald
Sort of related......
In 1988 my brother, sister and I met his son Kiefer on a beach in New Smyrna Beach Florida. This was within a year or so of "The Lost Boys".
I honestly had no idea who he was, my sister informed us he was famous.
He knew nd of hounded my sister over the next week. :)
He seemed WAY to normal to be a movie star.
