Missing Smallville Actor Has Been Found Dead

Actor Julian Sands who went missing several months ago in the San Gabriel Mountains in California has been found, and sadly, the news is not good. Some remains were found in the area on Saturday, and it has now been confirmed that they belong to Mr. Sands.

Julian Sands played Clark Kent’s Kryptonian father, Jor-El, in two episodes of Smallville… “Kandor” and “Abandoned.” Beyond Smallville, he was known for a number of high-profile projects including Warlock, 24, and A Room With A View.

He was only 65 years old. Our deepest sympathies go out to those who had known and loved him.
