Actor Orlando Brown has been reported missing after failing to return from a trip to a convenience store in California on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old, best known for his role as Eddie Thomas on hit Disney TV show That's So Raven, is alleged to have left his manager Ricky Romance's Studio City house around 10.20am on Tuesday to go to the local 7-Eleven store.

But panic set in when the star didn't return, and Romance and Brown's publicist, Elayne Rivers, have been unable to contact him ever since.

Rivers claims Brown is not usually out of touch for long, and his absence has sparked worry among his family and friends, reports People.

Romance has attempted to track down Brown by calling all the local hospitals, and has posted various messages on his MySpace page in the hope that someone, somewhere, will be able to report on his whereabouts.

Brown was working on a number of new projects at the time of his disappearance, including a possible spin-off from That's So Raven, in which he stars alongside Raven-Symone.
