SBS AUSTRALIAAwaiting news on the talented actor
Sands has still not been found. The world awaits news on the actor who is remembered for his portrayals of Jor-El, a character he played in the ninth and tenth season of ‘Smallville’; Greco Montgomery in ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ (2007); George Cutter in ‘All Things to All Men’ (2013) and Kotov in ‘The Chosen’ (2014).
The move to television
However, during the 21st century, television has given Julian Sands the most appealing roles: such as the terrorist Vladimir Bierko, whom he played in 2006 in the series ’24’.
The classic 90s
In cinema, Julian Sands had roles in films such as ‘Arachnophobia’ (1990) and ‘Leaving Las Vegas’, the Academy Award winning film also starring Nicolas Cage and Elisabeth Shue.
More than 30 years
The success of the film led him to move to the United States in 1987, where he would forge a career that, although it has not had memorable successes, has allowed him to work continuously for more than 30 years and add over 140 film and TV credentials to his CV.
The room that made him famous
Julian Sands rose to fame thanks to ‘A Room with a View’ in 1985 where he acted alongside Helena Bonham Carter, Sir Daniel Day-Lewis, Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith.
An Englishman based in the USA
The star of films such as ‘Gothic’ and ‘Arachnophobia’, he lived in North Hollywood with Evgenia Citkowitz, his second wife, and their two daughters.
A turn-of-the-century star
Julian Sands was a star performer, especially in the 1980s and 1990s.
Complicated ending to this story
Pending further developments, it seems more and more unlikely that Julian Sands’ story will have a happy ending. But never say never.
A beloved hobby turned ugly
Photos of the last place Sands was seen were shared by his family. A family member told The Independent: “This is how he would love to be seen, doing what he loved best – a heroic mountaineer, and thrilled to send a picture of him looking so happy to share with his beloved grandson, Billy.”

The search won’t end yet
The authorities are not giving up hope just yet. They have stated that there is “no hard deadline” for calling off the search and they were still classifying it as a “search and rescue operation”. This comes after one week of searching for Mr Sands.
The family wait
The body was discovered at around 10am on Saturday![]()
Keep looking
The search for Julian Sands continued with his own son joining in the efforts. The Independent writes that Sands’ son Henry ‘is retracing the route his father took, with the assistance of an experienced climber’.
Tracing his movements
The ‘Arachnophobia’ actor’s car was found near where he had set off for his hike. It was in a car park near the trail and has now been removed by his family, The Independent reports.
Lost track
They then lost track of the actor. The Sheriff’s department said, “Additional phone pings from the cell provider were attempted but were unsuccessful, due to the lack of cell service and most likely cell phone power failure.”
Phone data revealed movements
Phone data has revealed Julian Sands last known movements. It seems he was mobile and on the move two days after his reported disappearance in the California mountains.
A difficult return to the search
Rescue crews planned to resume their ground search once the weather improved. The Independent, however, revealed that he may not be in the same place and they may have to widen their search.

The danger of ice
The great danger in the area in recent days has been that the large amount of accumulated snow has turned to ice, which greatly complicates hiking in the area.
Busy emergency services
Weather conditions are so adverse in this area of California that authorities have had to carry out more than 15 emergency interventions in the vicinity of Mount Baldy.
Heed weather and danger warnings
“Think twice and heed warnings”, the force stated, urging hikers and skiers not to set out in dangerous conditions.
