RIP: Julian Sands

British actor Julaian Sands has died ...

Actor Julian Sands died while hiking on California mountain, authorities confirm

Actor Julian Sands, who starred in several Oscar-nominated films in the late 1980s and ‘90s including “A Room With a View” and “Leaving Las Vegas,” was found dead on a Southern California mountain five months after he disappeared while hiking, authorities said Tuesday.

An investigation confirmed that it was Sands whose remains hikers found Saturday in wilderness near Mount Baldy, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said. The 65-year-old actor was an avid and experienced hiker who lived in Los Angeles and was reported missing Jan. 13 after setting out on the peak that rises more than 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) east of the city. Crews aided by drones and helicopters had searched for him several times, but, severely hampered by wintry conditions that lasted through spring, no sign of him was found until the civilian hikers came upon him ...


He's been in many acclaimed films, like The Killing Fields, in which he portrayed British journalist Joh Swain ...



But I liked him in science fictiom, like as the entomologist in Arachnophobia, and his portrayal of a religious leader of false gods in another galaxy on Stargate SG-1. Here he is in that role, talking to our hero Danuel Jackson ...



It's sad that he has passed away.
