British actor Julian Sands has gone missing while hiking near Mt. Baldy in the San Gabriel Mountains northeast of Los Angeles.
The 65-year-old, who is known for his roles in “The Killing Fields,” “A Room With A View” and “Warlock,” was reported missing on Friday in the Baldy Bowl area around 7:30 p.m., a representative for the San Bernardino Country Sheriff’s Department confirmed to Fox News Digital.
The spokesman said that ground crews conducting a search for Sands were called off on Saturday evening due to avalanche risk and the weather conditions in the area.
“However, we did continue efforts by helicopter and by drone as the weather permitted,” the representative said. “We will schedule another ground search when the weather improves and when it is safe for the conditions of our ground crew.”

A representative for Sands did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
