Concern continues to grow for the well-being of Julian Sands after the veteran British actor was reported missing six days ago.
Sands, who will likely be best known to CBM fans for his roles as Jor-El on The CW's Smallville and Dr. Gerald Crane on Gotham, went hiking in the Mt. Baldy area of the San Gabriel Mountains last Friday, and was reported missing by his family at 7:30pm on January 13.
CNN reports that "search and rescue crews were on the mountain looking for Sands, but due to the severe weather and an avalanche threat, rescuers had to suspend their search efforts."
"Officials continue to use drones to search for Sands, but are limited with other resources due to the weather on Mt. Baldy."
The region is said to be very dangerous this time of year, with search and rescue teams responding to 14 separate rescue missions over the past month alone.
“These rescue missions have been for lost, stranded and/or injured hikers. Unfortunately, during these past 4 weeks, two hikers did not survive after falling and injuring themselves. The recent storms that brought the snow and ice conditions are not favorable for hikers, even those that feel they have a high level of experience.”
It goes without saying that we're all hoping for a happy outcome here, but as more time passes, the chances of Sands being found safe and sound diminish.
