With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer. Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.

McMahon’s acting career began in 1989, with a role on the short-lived Australian soap opera The Power, the Passion. That was followed by a stint on Home and Away. He made his Stateside debut on another soap, NBC’s Another World, in 1993. That was followed by series-regular stints on NBC’s Profiler (as John Grant) and The WB’s Charmed (as Cole Turner).

His first leading role came in 2003, when he was cast opposite Dylan Walsh in Ryan Murphy’s plastic surgery drama Nip/Tuck, which ran for six seasons on FX and ended in 2010. He earned a Golden Globe nomination for his turn as Dr. Christian Troy.

Ten years later, he was cast as team leader Jess LaCroix on CBS’ FBI: Most Wanted. He led the procedural for three seasons before his exit in March 2022.

His final role came earlier this year, in Netflix’s White House caper The Residence. He recurred as Stephen Roos, the Prime Minister of Australia — a role his father, Billy McMahon, held in real life, from 1971-1972.

Additional credits include Marvel’s Runaways, as well as 2005’s Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
