“The local mountains offer great adventure, you can go out for an hour, a day or even several days,” Sands said. “It’s always different and always fantastic. And of course, I do believe in a certain athleticism for me as an actor, keeping fit is important. So living, or being based in Los Angeles — actors don’t really live anywhere, they are always on the road — lends itself to a wonderful outdoors lifestyle.”

Sands was known for his roles ‘The Killing Fields' which was released in 1984 and ‘A Room With a View' which premiered the following year. Both films were nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture.

Sands later was Leaving Las Vegas (1995), Naked Lunch (1991), and the Warlock films (1989 and 1993).
