Julian Sands, a British actor who has appeared in quite a few movies and TV shows, is confirmed to be missing in Southern California’s mountains.
Based on ABC 7, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Wednesday that Sands, 65, was last seen mountain climbing within the Mount Baldy area last week. Officials said the search has been difficult resulting from severe weather on the ten,000-foot mountain, and air resources were “limited” over the weekend.
Sands’ family reported him missing Friday, in line with authorities.
“His wife did report him missing,” Gloria Huerta, the general public information officer for the sheriff’s department, told the ABC affiliate. “From what I understand, he left sometime that day for a hike and when he didn’t return, his family reported him missing.”
Starting his profession within the Eighties, Sands is thought for performing in such movies as “Arachnophobia,” “A Room with a View,” “Warlock” and “Leaving Las Vegas.”
He also appeared on “24” in 2006 and on Season 8 of “Dexter” in 2013.
Sands was born on Jan. 4, 1958, in West Yorkshire and lives in Los Angeles.
The Post has contacted a rep for Sands for comment.
Officials are also on a separate search to seek out hiker Bob Gregory in Los Angeles County.
His family reported him missing Monday, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s San Dimas station, per ABC 7, said it has been trying to find him within the Crystal Lake area of the San Gabriel Mountains.
In a Facebook post Wednesday, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department announced its search-and-rescue teams have responded to 14 rescue missions on Mount Baldy and the encompassing area during the last 4 weeks.
“These rescue missions have been for lost, stranded and/or injured hikers. Unfortunately, during these past 4 weeks, two hikers didn’t survive after falling and injuring themselves,” the department noted.
“Please know the present conditions on Mt Baldy are opposed and intensely dangerous. As a result of the high winds, the snow has turned to ice making mountain climbing extremely dangerous.”
