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.

We'll be sure to keep you guys updated.

terrible news, hope nothing too serious happened. he was really great in a room with a view.

Superspecialawesomeguy - 1/19/2023, 7:54 AM

Hope he is found and is well, loved his scene with Tom Welling in Smallville **Spoiler Alert**

He was cool in Blood & Bone as well.

GhostDog - 1/19/2023, 7:57 AM

@Superspecialawesomeguy - he was so good in his brief part in Blood and Bone

Superspecialawesomeguy - 1/19/2023, 9:57 AM

@Superspecialawesomeguy - I almost forgot that he was the bad guy in The Medallion with Jackie Chan as well, I loved that movie as a kid!

GhostDog - 1/19/2023, 7:56 AM

A great Jor-El and charismatically slimy in Blood and Bone. Hope they find him asap.

DudeGuy - 1/19/2023, 8:19 AM

Terrible. Can’t imagine the torment his family must be going through day after day.

elgaz - 1/19/2023, 8:28 AM

Hope he's found well, always liked him as an actor ever since seeing him in Warlock way back in the late 80s.

ReverseFlasher - 1/19/2023, 9:46 AM

@elgaz - yeah he scared the crap out of young me in that movie, liked him since then too… hope hes found safe.

WarMonkey - 1/19/2023, 8:37 AM

Oh no this is awful, hope he turns up and is OK. I have a good amount of experience with hiking, don't go for long hikes by yourself, accidents happen all the time and people get stuck out there. And most people have no clue how to survive a single night in the woods.

Blergh - 1/19/2023, 8:50 AM

Sh*t. hope he's found well!

AC1 - 1/19/2023, 9:08 AM

Very troubling to hear, hope he's found safe

TheVandalore - 1/19/2023, 9:10 AM

Hiking.... extreme walking. I mean i know you have got to be a certain kinda tough... but what a dumb way to die.

"Yeah, he walked where he shouldnt have. Knew it was dangerous... did it anyways."

"Walking, you say?"

"I did. Yes sir. Died walking."

Reeds2Much - 1/19/2023, 10:47 AM

Maybe not up there with Cage or Shatner, but Julian Sands is still one of the all time greats at chewing scenes.

dagenspear - 1/19/2023, 10:53 AM

LORD willing, he's okay.

Nightmare - 1/19/2023, 11:03 AM

Been a lot of hiker disappearances/deaths in the San Gabriel mountains. Hope he's found and ok. Remember him from the Warlock movies.

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 1/19/2023, 12:19 PM

Man, I hate when this shit happens. You should [frick]ing know better. Missing a week is not a good sign, but miracles happen.

DocSpock - 1/19/2023, 12:49 PM

Let's pray that this good actor is found okay. Maybe he just wandered into the deep forest looking for his lost career.

Himura - 1/19/2023, 12:50 PM

@DocSpock - what the [frick]?

TheNewYorker - 1/19/2023, 2:53 PM

It was warlock for me. Shit, I feel old 🤦‍♂️

ganicoga - 1/19/2023, 3:49 PM

Damn, I remember this guy from the movie The Tomorrow Man, a sort of Terminator rip-off made for TV. Also, Giancarlo Esposito starred with him in that movie.

A hidden gem that I strongly recommend to watch
