California’s RANCHO CUCAMONGA (AP) — Authorities announced Wednesday that actor Julian Sands, who starred in several Oscar-nominated movies, including “A Room With a View,” has been missing for five days in the Southern California mountains while climbing.

According to Gloria Huerta, a spokesperson for the San Bernardino County sheriff’s office, Sands, 65, was reported missing on a trail on Mount Baldy on Friday.

The San Gabriel Mountains are about 40 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, where search and rescue teams were looking for Sands. However, due to trail conditions and avalanche risks, the ground search had to be suspended on Saturday, and it has not been able to be restarted since, according to Huerta.

Authorities said they are using helicopters and drones to search for Sands as the weather permits and will resume the ground search when it’s safe.

On Friday, the most recent in a string of storms that have wreaked havoc on the mountains, rushed into Southern California and persisted through the weekend. There have lately been two additional hiker fatalities nearby.

Emails requesting a statement or more information about the actor Sands, who was born in England but now resides in North Hollywood, did not immediately receive a response.
