Family, friends concerned after he doesn’t return from a trip to nearby convenience store
UPDATE
The actor has been found, and has issued an apology.
Orlando Brown of TV’s That’s So Raven has been missing since early Tuesday morning, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
The 20-year-old reportedly left his manager’s house around 10:20 a.m. to make a quick trip to 7-Eleven and has not been seen since. According to Brown’s publicist, Elayne Rivers, he had a full day of meetings and appointments in preparation for a photo shoot Wednesday.
Rivers adds that friends and family are very concerned, as the young actor is not one to be out of touch for long, and the convenience store was within a short walking distance from his manager’s home in Studio City.
Ricky Romance, Brown’s close friend and manager, has been calling all local hospitals and posting MySpace bulletins repeatedly, hoping someone somewhere might have seen or heard something about his whereabouts.
Brown has several projects in the works, including a second album featuring tracks with top artists Akon and Sean Kingston.
