The English actor Julian Sands, known in the audiovisual entertainment industry for his work in films such as
"Arachnophobia"
and in series such as
"24"
, was identified by the authorities as one of the two people who
disappeared on Friday in the mountains
of San Gabriel in California, United States, as part of an expedition.
The 65-year-old actor is being
searched for via drones and helicopters
, avalanche risks and dangerous trail conditions have hampered his search on land.
In any case, it is hoped that once the weather and security conditions improve, field investigations can be resumed.
Meanwhile, on the official Facebook page of the County Sheriff, the authorities called on all hikers -even experts- to avoid walks and hikes in the Mount Baldy area due to the
high risk of facing an accident
.
"Over the past four weeks, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Search and Rescue (SAR) teams have responded to 14 rescue missions in and around Mt Baldy," they graphed.
And they added: “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."
Along with the English actor, who lives in North Hollywood, authorities are also separately looking for a Hathorne resident named Bob Gregory in the Crystal Lake area of the San Gabriel Mountains.
So far no representative of the actor has given any testimony in this regard.
