GARDENA, Calif. (AP) -- Authorities in Los Angeles County say a missing Hollywood visual effects producer hasn't been seen since leaving work a week ago without his wallet or other personal items.

Police say Eric Kohler drove his new black Range Rover away from his office in Gardena Nov. 24 and never returned.

His mother, Sheryi Kohler, says it's not like her son to miss work.

The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that the 27-year-old helped create digital effects for movies like "Pirates of the Caribbean," ''The Avengers," ''San Andreas" and "X-Men."

He is described as 5 feet 10 inches, 160 pounds, with straight brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a light blue collared shirt, blue jeans and brown shoes.
