Julian Sands, a British actor who has appeared in numerous films and TV shows, has been confirmed missing in the mountains of Southern California.
According to ABC 7, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Wednesday that Sands, 65, was last seen walking in the Baldy Mountain area last week. Officials said the search was difficult because of bad weather on the 10,000-foot mountain, and air resources were “limited” over the weekend.
Sands’ family reported him missing Friday, according to authorities.
“His wife reported him missing,” Gloria Huerta, public information officer for the sheriff’s department, told the ABC affiliate. “It is my understanding that he went for a walk sometime that day and when he did not return, his family reported him missing.”
Beginning his career in the 1980s, Sands is known for his roles in films such as Arachnophobia, A Room with a View, Warlock and Leaving Las Vegas.

Authorities are also on a separate manhunt to find hiker Bob Gregory in Los Angeles County.
His family reported him missing on Monday, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Station San Dimas, according to ABC 7, said they were looking for him in the Crystal Lake area of the San Gabriel Mountains.
In a Facebook post Wednesday, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department announced that its search and rescue teams have responded to 14 rescue missions on Baldy Mountain and the surrounding area over the past four weeks.
“These rescue missions are for lost, stranded and/or injured hikers. “Unfortunately, in the last 4 weeks, two tourists did not survive after falling and injuring themselves,” the department noted.
“Please be aware that the current conditions at Mount Baldy are unfavorable and extremely dangerous. Due to strong winds, the snow has turned to ice, making hiking extremely dangerous.”
