His last words on screen are, "We shall not see each other again, I think." He was originally scheduled to play the title role in Captain Blood but withdrew before shooting began, which created an opportunity for Errol Flynn to become a star. He did not feel comfortable with Hollywood so Hollywood came to him, filming mostly in England. Uncle of actor Peter Donat. He was English-born of Polish descent and several of his brothers emigrated to Canada. Favorite actor of British comedy legend Peter Sellers, who once said about Bob Donat: "I thought he was a god." He said that his favourite actors were Charles Chaplin, Paul Muni, Spencer Tracy, Greta Garbo and Deanna Durbin. Great-uncle of Lucas Donat.
