The theater community is searching for a beloved performer.
MJ The Musical star Zelig Williams disappeared on Oct. 3, with his missing persons flyer noting the 28-year-old was last seen at his home in Columbia, S.C., wearing a white T-shirt, black shorts and brown slides.
“According to authorities,” reads the poster shared by Black and Missing, “Zelig was last seen driving in the Congaree National Park area, where his vehicle was found.”
His family members initially believed he may have been in a car crash due to an alert from his phone.
“Around 9:50 Thursday morning, he left just normally as he would,” Williams’ aunt Christine McLaughlin Barber told local South Carolina TV station WACH. “About 10 minutes later, we received an SOS ping from his phone from one of his friends in New York, indicating a crash.”
However, they have since ruled out a car accident, according to the outlet.
While authorities search for the actor, his Broadway colleagues—including Hugh Jackman, who worked with Williams on the 2019 concert tour “The Man. The Music. The Show”—are urging anyone with information to contact the Richland County Sheriff’s Office.
