Nip/Tuck

27 July 1968

Julian Dana William McMahon started a successful modeling career and became known in the fashion capitals Milan, New York, Rome, and Paris. In addition to a career as a fashion model, McMahon began an acting career at an early age in Home and Away. His first role in American television was on the soap opera Another World, playing "Ian Rain" from 1993 to 1995. He also played "Dr. Michael Walsh" in the movie Magenta in 1996, "Mick Dooley" in Wet and Wild Summer! in 1992, "Sheriff Hayes" in In Quiet Night in 1998, "George Simian" in the psychological thriller Chasing Sleep in 2000, "David Cameron" in the made for TV movie Another World in 2001 and the supervillain Doctor Doom in Fantastic Four, the 2005 film adaptation of the comic book series of the same name. McMahon was nominated for the Golden Globe award for "Best Actor in a Television Series - Drama" in 2005 for his role as Christian Troy in Nip/Tuck.

A womanizing plastic surgeon also approaching middle age, Christian Troy serves as a foil to the more family-minded Sean McNamara, his best friend and business partner. He is the biological father of Matt McNamara with whom he has a tempestuous relationship. Kimber Henry is his on-again/off-again girlfriend. Christian's belief that selling ownership of the practice in order to lead less stressful lives has proved to be unfounded.

."I always look back on Home & Away with fondness, especially when I'm in the UK. But I had no idea what I was doing back then. I just fell into acting. It was only later that I became passionate about it."

"I like the opportunity to play characters who have these dark sides but make the audience empathize with them. You want them to think there is some kind of sweeter, softer side to it."

"There is a wealth of Australian talent in Hollywood right now but we're all pretty busy and it's not as though we're best mates. When we see each other, we say hello."
