The Tear, Room with a View, Ocean’s Thirteen…
A critically acclaimed comedian, he began his career in the 1980s in the UK. During this decade, he chained major roles, such as in the drama The Tear, which traces the arrival of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, or Room with a View where his interpretation is very noticeable.
The 1990s marked his departure for Hollywood and bigger budget films, such as Warlock, Arachnophobia or Leaving Las Vegas and Timecode. Other secondary roles were offered to him in the years that followed ( Ocean’s Thirteen, Millenium: The Men Who Didn’t Love Women).
Since the 2000s, Julian Sands had also turned to the small screen, where he appeared in series like Smallville, Stargate SG-1, Law & Order: SVU and 24 Hours.
Outdoor lovers
In an interview with the Guardian, the actor declared his love for hiking. He claimed then that he was happiest when he was “near the top of a mountain on a glorious cold morning”.
He had then made expeditions in the mountains his greatest passion. In the Andes, he tells our British colleagues, he almost died, “stranded in a terrible storm above 6,000 meters”.
At the beginning of the year, he had decided to go on an adventure to Mount Baldy, in the mountain range north of Los Angeles, despite the very difficult weather conditions, due in particular to violent winds. This adventure was the last.
