A Hollywood star has become involved in the search for Zelig Williams, a 28-year-old dancer known for performing in award-winning musicals such as "Hamilton" and "MJ: The Musical." He has not been heard from in a week.

The last time the 28-year-old was seen was on October 3rd, as he was leaving his mother, Kathy Williams's, house. On the same day, a friend in New York received an alert from his phone suggesting that there had been a car accident. The police found his car two days later. However, no evidence of a collision was found.

The Williams family believes that Zelig will return home. The dancer's mother is appealing for any information to be shared with the investigators. She emphasizes that her son needs to take medication and may be in a difficult situation. Recently, Williams taught Broadway knowledge classes to young people. The dancer's family and friends still hope for his safe return.

Hugh Jackman has appeared in many Broadway productions and won a Tony Award, the theater's equivalent of an Oscar, for "The Boy from Oz."
