Movie Executive Gavin Smith Missing---Movie executive gone missing Gavin Smith: The son of a Hollywood studio executive who has been missing for a week said Monday that his father had not used his cellphone or credit cards, leaving no clues to his disappearance.
Gavin Smith, a 57-year-old film distribution executive for 20th Century Fox, was last seen on Tuesday night driving away from a friend's house in the community of Oak Park, north of Los Angeles, in his black Mercedes.
Police have issued a missing person bulletin for Smith - also known for playing on UCLA's 1975 national championship basketball team under legendary coach John Wooden - and asked for the public's help in finding him.
"We're just doing our best to get as many people looking as possible," Evan Smith, a forward for the University of Southern California basketball team, said in an interview.
"We're trying to find my dad. We need our father." The younger Smith has also taken to Twitter to get the word out, tweeting such messages as:
"I will not stop until I find my father" and "A son never gives up on his father." Smith said that family members first became concerned when his dad failed to turn up at the film studio, a job he loves.
"My dad's a good guy, a very responsible man, and it all really took hold for us when he didn't show up for work," he said.
He added that his father, who stands 6 foot, 6 inches tall, with an athletic build and "looks like a movie star" should be easy to spot.
