Julian Sands, a British actor best known for his roles in films like A Room With A View (1985) and Warlock (1989), was reported missing at about 7.30 pm, last Friday, January 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 Sands, 65, was reported missing. However, parties had to be pulled back on 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 said in an interview 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.
British film producer Cassian Elwes shared that he had known Sands was missing for several days. “I’m devastated. [He is] a close family friend who was an adventurer in everything he did. I’ve said many prayers,” Elwes wrote in a post on Twitter.
