Renowned Actor Julian Sands Found Dead in Southern California Mountains

British actor Julian Sands, known for his roles in popular television series and films, including “24” and “A Room with a View,” has tragically been discovered deceased in the San Gabriel Mountains of Southern California. He had gone missing in January and officials revealed the news on Tuesday.

“The manner of death is still under investigation, pending further test results,” the San Bernardino County Sherriff’s Department said in a statement. “We would like to extend our gratitude to all the volunteers that worked tirelessly to locate Mr. Sands.”

Since his disappearance on January 13^th, the 65-year-old actor had been the focus of an ongoing search in the Mt. Baldy region.

Despite severe weather conditions hindering search efforts, officials recently conducted a second search for Sands.

Over eighty search and rescue volunteers, deputies, and staff participated in the latest search operation. They were assisted by helicopters and drone crews while volunteers scoured remote areas across Mount Baldy, according to officials.

Last week, human remains were discovered in the same region where the search for the actor was taking place.

“We continue to hold Julian in our hearts with bright memories of him as a wonderful father, husband, explorer, lover of the natural world and the arts, and as an original and collaborative performer,” his family said in a statement.

Hiking was one of Sand’s favorite hobbies, according to his parents and family.

“When in LA, the Mt Baldy mountain range was his favorite place, he would go there as often as he could,” Sand’s brother told U.K. publication the Craven Herald & Pioneer. “Julian liked to say ‘I have never had a holiday but I do rest occasionally’ – well he’s resting now in a place he would truly approve of.”

Sands had appeared in numerous notable films and television shows throughout his career.

His filmography includes “Arachnophobia,” “The Killing Fields,” “Ocean’s Thirteen,” and “Leaving Las Vegas.” He has also starred in TV productions such as “Smallville,” Netflix’s “What/If,” and the Peter Capaldi-led thriller “Benediction.”

“The truth is, once you have been around long enough and have some experience, confidence and independence, there is a tremendous letting go of the things that are intrusive in your career: ambition, narcissism, jealousy, vanity, insecurity,” he told the press in a 2018 piece. “You can spend a lot of time trying to stay a young actor. It doesn’t allow for emotional maturity. It’s infantilizing.”

Sands was reportedly married to journalist and playwright Eugenia Citkowitz, whom he married in 1990. The couple had two children together, and he also has another child from his first marriage.

The official cause of Sand’s death has not yet been determined.
