The classmates of a student missing from his Glasgow home have urged him to get in touch.
Timothy Chiwaula hasn't been seen since he left his home on Old Shettleston Road around 8.45pm on October 11.
The 23-year-old acting student has been described as 'sweet, funny and really talented' by his friends.
He is believed to have disappeared on foot, leaving behind his phone, passport, and wallet.
Speaking to Radio 1 Newsbeat, they said: "He's just a wonderful, wonderful person, he's really kind and compassionate."
They said he has an "infectious" smile and his acting performances are "filled with soul" and spoke about him "always cracking a joke" and "always caring about the people around him".
"All his friends miss him so much," one friend said.
Timothy, a student of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, is originally from Malawi. His university friends have been keeping his family up to date with the missing person search.
They added: "We've all been trying to check in on him and were really shocked and saddened when we found out we needed to put out a missing person's call for him."
"We've all rallied around each other to support each other."
Timothy has been described as a black male between 5ft 8in and 5ft 9in, with brown eyes and dreadlocks.
He has a small gold stud piercing on both ears and a slight gap between his front teeth.
The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland has echoed calls for anyone with information to get in touch with police.
