Nick Stahl: All About His Disappearance – And His Past
Originally posted 05/16/2012 07:00PM
In his most recent film, Nick Stahl plays a man looking for his missing wife.
In a bizarre real-life parallel, Stahl is now missing. While police continue their search for the 32-year-old actor, who was last seen on May 9, the director of 388 Arletta Avenue says he saw no signs of trouble when he shot the thriller with Stahl in Toronto a year and a half ago.
"He was fantastic – not a single problem," director Randall Cole tells PEOPLE. "He was a total professional and knew his lines. There was no diva behavior at all." Nor was there any hint of turmoil between Stahl and his wife Rose, who visited the set along with their then-infant daughter, Marlo. But court documents filed earlier this year tell a different story.

Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei recently traveled to Italy to investigate a murder mystery – and no, that's not the plot of her latest on-screen project.
Tomei, 47, made the journey to look into the death of her great-grandfather, as part of NBC's Who Do You Think You Are?, which gives celebrities a chance to delve into their heritage. The Ides of March star examined records at an Italian church in order to piece together her family history.
Growing up, family legend was that the actress's great-grandfather was a womanizer and a gambler whose philandering ways led to him being fatally shot in a bar, according to the NBC show. But documents that Tomei uncovered in Italy cited his cause of death as "illness."

For 33 years, his family feared the worst – that he might have been a victim of Chicago serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Turns out Harold Wayne Lovell was just living in Florida.
Lovell, 53, was reunited with his family this week after police finally tracked him down, decades after he failed to return from a construction job, Chicago's NBC affiliate reports.
Lovell says he didn't know his family thought he was dead. "It's very emotional, it still is," he said of the reunion. "It's been two days, and I'm still crying."
Lovell left Chicago for Florida because of a "family situation," saying he "couldn't stay around the house any longer." But it was a scene of joy when he caught up with his siblings in Alabama this week.

Previous seasons of The Bachelorette have featured plenty of contestants with baggage – but never quite like one man vying for Ashley Hebert's heart on season 8.
During Monday night's premiere, South Carolina-based prosecutor West Lee addresses losing "the true love of my life" in 2007 when his then-wife Sarah Lee drowned in the couple's bathtub.
"She had this history of seizures," West said of his wife of seven years. "One day she went and got in the bathtub. I checked on her and I found her face down in the tub. [I] pulled her out and I called 911."
