RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (AP) — The family of actor Julian Sands, star of several Oscar-nominated films including “A Room With a View,” thanked public safety officials Monday amid their 11th day of searching for him in the Southern California mountains, where he was hiking.

Sands, 65, was reported missing Jan. 13 on a trail on Mt. Baldy, San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Gloria Huerta said.

His family offered their “heartfelt thanks to the compassionate members of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department,” and other “heroic search teams” Monday, adding that they are “deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support.”

Search and rescue crews looked for Sands in the area of the San Gabriel Mountains, about 40 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, but had to suspend the ground search on Jan. 14 because of trail conditions and avalanche risks, and have not been able to resume since, Huerta said.

They were searching for Sands as weather allowed with helicopters and drones, and resumed the ground search when it’s safe, authorities said.

The latest in a series of storms that had created dangerous mountain conditions swept into Southern California on Jan. 13 and lasted through that weekend. Two other hikers died in the area.

Representatives for Sands, an English-born actor who now lives in North Hollywood, did not immediately reply to emails seeking comment or further details.

Sands starred opposite Helena Bonham Carter in the 1985 British romance from director James Ivory, “A Room With a View.”

He also had major roles in 1989’s “Warlock,” 1990’s “Arachnophobia,” 1991′s “Naked Lunch,” 1993′s “Boxing Helena,” and 1995’s “Leaving Las Vegas.”

Sands has worked consistently in the decades since with smaller roles in film and television.
