Hugh Jackman is trying to help find Zelig Williams, a Broadway dancer who has gone missing. Williams hasn't been seen or heard from since October 3. On Thursday, Jackman shared a post on his Instagram stories that has since been deleted.
Along with a picture of Williams, Jackman wrote, "Please... if anyone has any information as to where Zelig Williams is, please contact your local authorities." "Zelig, we love you and look forward to your safe return." Please send this message to other people!!!"
They worked together on The Greatest Showman's "The Man, The Music, The Show" tour in 2019. From October 2016 to November 2017, the dancer was also part of the Hamilton cast on Broadway for a little over five months. In addition, Williams played several parts in the original cast of MJ: The Musical, such as Marlon Jackson and James Brown. Spirited is one of his other credits.
They said in a statement that the dancer, who is 28 years old, was last seen at his home in Columbia, S.C., on Thursday, October 3. Williams went back to his hometown to become a dance teacher. He wasn't seen or heard from on October 4. Williams' mother told officers that he had not been seen or heard from since October 3, around 9 a.m., according to an incident report. The lack of contact was "out of character," and she made it clear that Williams would need to take prescription drugs.
Richland County Sheriff's Office says Williams was last seen in South Carolina, close to Congaree National Park. Later, his car was found in that area on the 500-mile Palmetto Trail that goes across the whole state.
News reports say that Williams' family first thought he had been in a car crash. There was an SOS warning from his phone that said there had been a crash, and a friend in New York got it. The ping came in less than 10 minutes after Williams left his house. There were no signs of a crash when his car was found. The search is still going on. Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott told WIS10, "We've searched on foot and in the air of different places." "Other investigative techniques that we will use involving cell phones and some other things that I don't want to discuss at this point."
