The news that the remains of Julian Sands, an actor of extraordinary sensitivity and awareness, were identified in California’s San Gabriel mountains June 27 brings to a close a sad, uncertain chapter. Sands will have no date of death confirmed. He simply disappeared January 13 while hiking near Mt. Baldy amid severe storms, icy conditions, and possible avalanches.

That’s California for you: the most densely populated areas abut what is truly “the wild.”
The nature of his disappearance was such that many of Sands’ admirers, myself included, did not grieve his loss at the time. There was always hope, however much of a long shot, that he might be found. He was an expert and avid hiker, after all. Maybe he found...

It has been 12 days since Smallville actor Julian Sands went missing while hiking in California, and now his brother, Nick Sands, has opened up about the situation and his fears that his sibling will never be found. “He has not yet been declared missing, presumed dead, but I know in my heart that he has gone,” Nick told U.K. newspaper the Telegraph & Argus. “However, sibling rivalry being what it is, it would be just like him to walk out of there and prove me wrong.” In addition to Nick, Julian has three other brothers, Robin, Jeremy, and Quentin, and the four had apparently arranged to meet up for an annual get-together before Julian disappeared. “On Monday, he had planned to join his brothers for our Monday Club for a beer in Skipton,” said Nick. “He will be missed, and I guess we will raise a glass to him.
