    Hugh Jackman has appealed for help finding missing Broadway dancer Zelig Williams

    The Hollywood actor has joined the search for the 28-year-old 'Hamilton' star after he vanished in South Carolina on October 3 urging anyone with any information to come forward and telling his followers to share the message in a bid to find the stage performer


    Sharing a picture of Williams on his Instagram page, Jackman wrote: "Please ... if anyone has any information as to the whereabouts of Zelig Williams please reach out to your local authorities. Zelig we love you and are praying for your safe return.'

    Jackman then added: "Please pass this message on!!!"

    Williams - who appeared in 'Hamilton' and 'MJ The Musical' - previously worked with Jackman on his 'The Man. The Music. The Show.' world tour in 2019.

    He recently moved back from New York and had been working as a dance teacher in his home town in South Carolina. Williams was last seen on October 3 by his mother Kathy at her home in Columbia.

    His worried family later filed a missing persons report and officials went on to find the Broadway star's car in a parking lot close to the Palmetto Trail hiking route close to Congaree National Park.

    Officials have mounted a search using helicopters, boats and drones

    Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott told Wistv.com: "We've searched on foot in the air of various locations. Other investigative techniques that we will use involving cell phones and some other things that I don't want to discuss at this point."

    Lott added that Williams is in need of prescription medication.

    Williams' cousin Mieoki Corbin-Jacobs added to the outlet: "We can't describe it, its devastation. It's devastation for someone who is so close to his family to just disappear like that ... there's no way to describe it."
