He is known for such hit films as The Notebook and The Other Woman.

On Monday he alleged that his daughter – whose birth name is Barbarella – was missing in a post on Instagram over the weekend.

He filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department accusing his wife Heather Wahlquist of violating their custody agreement by running off with the girl.

‘Where is my baby? Why won’t her phone turn on? Why has she been stolen from me?’ wrote Cassavetes on Friday. 

‘Is she okay? Does she know I love her, that I miss her everyday? Does she know that I’m coming and will never stop coming?’

He included a photo of himself with Barbie alongside that post.

On Sunday, Cassavetes went a step further and accused Wahlquist of kidnapping their child.

‘I miss my daughter on the day before Xmas Eve. I haven’t spoken to her in over a month. Wherever she is, i want her to know that I love her more than anything and I will never stop looking for her,’ he wrote in that Instagram post.

‘Merry Christmas, my love, we all wait for your return, Love, your dad, Sasha, Gina, Chrissy, Loochie, Gena and Bob, your aunties, Chvonshvy, Yuki, Gus, and Theo…’
