United Kingdom Actor Julian Sands reported missing while hiking in San Gabriel Mountains


Source: Variety
Quote:
Julian Sands, a British actor best known for his roles in films like the 1985 drama “A Room With a View” and the 1989 horror entry “Warlock,” was reported missing at about 7:30 p.m. last Friday, Jan. 13. Sands had been hiking in the Baldy Bowl hiking area, approximately 50 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

According to a representative for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, ground crews responded and began searching the area soon after the 65-year-old Sands was reported missing. However, parties had to be pulled Saturday evening, after roughly 24 hours of searching, due to avalanche risks and trail conditions.

Sands is known to be an enthusiastic mountaineer. “I love climbing mountains, I’ve spent a lot of time in the Alps over the years, a lot of time in the Andes, Alaska and the American ranges,” Sands told ThriveGlobal in 2020.

Authorities have continued with intermittent searches by helicopter and drone. However, a search party hasn’t been deployed in more than four days. While the Sheriff’s Department plans to launch a ground effort once weather conditions improve, authorities are currently cautioning prospective hikers to stay out of the area.

The Baldy Bowl hiking area is located near Mt. Baldy in the San Gabriel Mountains of Southern California. Nighttime temperatures in the area have been in the mid-20s over the past week.

British film producer Cassian Elwes shared that he had known Sands’ was missing for several days. “I’m devastated. A very close family friend who was an adventurer in everything he did. I’ve said many prayers,” Elwes wrote in a post on Twitter.

I’ve known since Friday that my friend Julian Sands has been missing on mt baldy. I’m devastated. A very close family friend who was an adventurer in everything he did. I’ve said many prayers.

Sands featured in films and TV series before rising to prominence for his lead role as George Emerson, starring alongside Helena Bonham Carter in James Ivory’s “A Room With a View.” Other notable credits include the “Warlock” films, “Leaving Las Vegas,” “Arachnophobia” and “Naked Lunch.” In recent years, Sands had played film roles in notable arthouse titles such as “Benediction” and “The Painted Bird.”

Sands’ representatives could not immediately be reached for comment

Just heard this on the news. Very sad. Warlock is one of my favorites since I was around 9 years old. Hopefully, his past experience as an outdoorsman allows him to stay alive until he can be located.

I just read his car has been found.

In the same article I also read this:
Quote:
Mr Sands has talked in the past about his love of hiking and mountain climbing.

When asked in 2020 what made him happy, he replied: "Close to a mountain summit on a glorious cold morning."
Hopefully they can find him alive, but chances are slim

Saw this news the other day. I hope he's safe. I always liked him and he's been very underrated and underused and films and TV.

I didn't recognize him, but I did see the Warlock film, which I read he was the star of. I remember him in that film now. I haven't seen most of his films though.

Sounds like he went climbing alone under avalanche conditions. The snow impact is tremendous from an avalanche I read, and one can quickly lose oxygen underneath the weight of it, like packed snow being very tough to break out from, if an avalanche was a potential reason. That's unfortunate either way.
