‘Fantastic Four' and ‘Nip/Tuck' star Julian McMahon dead at 56
Actor Julian McMahon, one of the two leads of seminal FX television series 'Nip/Tuck' who also played Dr. Doom in the 'Fantastic Four' movies from the 2000s, has died. He was reportedly 56.
The news was confirmed by a statement on the official 'Nip/Tuck' Facebook page, and an additional statement from his wife Kelly McMahon who told Deadline on Friday that her husband 'died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer.'
McMahon starred opposite Dylan Walsh in the Ryan Murphy-created 'Nip/Tuck' following two upscale plastic surgeons and their exploits. The series ran for six seasons between 2003 and 2010, and was nominated for 18 Primetime Emmys, winning one for best prosthetic makeup.
Concurrently, he played Dr. Victor Von Doom in the 'Fantastic Four' movies costarring Jessica Alba and Chris Evans from 2005 and 2007. (Dr. Doom is the villain soon to be portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. in the upcoming 'Avengers: Doomsday.')
McMahon's notable additional credits include recurring characters on TV's 'Charmed' and 'Profiler.' The Australian-American actor also recently appeared in 'FBI: Most Wanted' and Netflix's 'The Residence.'
With a resume of credits that began in the late 1980s, McMahon worked up until recently, with a role in the new Nicolas Cage movie 'The Surfer,' out this summer.

Atsuko Okatsuka was technically kidnapped by her grandma
Comedian Atsuko Okatsuka is able to make the most difficult life experiences seem funny. When she was eight years old, for example, her maternal grandma suddenly brought her to the U.S., separating her from her dad in Japan. From that point onward, Okatsuka grew up in California, where she lived undocumented for seven years. "All I knew was that my two-month vacation in L.A. turned into three months," she quips in her new stand-up special, Father. "And then, after 25 years — because I'm that afraid of conflict — I finally asked my grandma. I said, 'Grandma, did you kidnap me? Because that's what I feel like happened.'" WATCH | Official trailer for Father: While Okatsuka had long joked that it was a kidnapping, she and her grandma had never actually talked about it. She didn't know for sure what had happened to her until 2023, when she shared her story in an episode of This American Life. "When you investigate a part of your life with a journalist, there's fact-checking and there's research that they help you do," the comedian tells Q guest host Talia Schlanger in an interview. "So that's what helped solidify that it was technically a kidnapping." But Okatsuka, who's incredibly close with her grandma (she refers to her as her "91-year-old best friend"), doesn't see it that way. While the experience left her feeling deeply confused as a child, she's made a career out of finding the humour in her complex past. "I knew it was bad when Ira Glass reached out to me," she jokes in her new special. "You never want to do a This American Life episode. You know why? Because if you do, that means your life was bad!" It really helps to find the absurdity in a situation that may just seem like tragedy. After moving to the U.S., Okatsuka says she experienced "a slow shock" that took a long time to come out of, as she had to quickly learn English and adjust to life in a new country. Her experience was further complicated by the fact that she was living in her uncle's garage along with her grandma and her mom, who has schizophrenia. "I knew she was different," Okatsuka says about her mom. "I knew that I was scared of her. I went through puberty in that garage, you know what I mean? My mom would have her paranoid episodes and hear voices in her head, sometimes seizures…. A garage is not enough space to hold three generations of women." While there is a lot of real trauma in Okatsuka's life, she says she's found it healing to unpack it all publicly onstage, in interviews or on a podcast like This American Life. "It is funny to think about it way later," she tells Schlanger. "When they say time heals, I guess that's what they mean. You know, you can decide to see the levity in something. It really helps to find the absurdity in a situation that may just seem like tragedy."

Video game actors are voting on a new contract. Here's what it means for AI in gaming

(AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File) LOS ANGELES — An 11-month strike by video game performers could formally end this week if members ratify a deal that delivers pay raises, control over their likenesses and artificial intelligence protections. The agreement feels 'like diamond amounts of pressure suddenly lifted,' said Sarah Elmaleh, a voice actor and chair of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists' interactive branch negotiating committee. Union members have until Wednesday at 5 p.m. Pacific to vote on ratifying the tentative agreement. Voice and body performers for video games raised concerns that unregulated use of AI could displace them and threaten their artistic autonomy. 'It's obviously far from resolved,' Elmaleh said. 'But the idea that that we're in a zone where we might have concluded this feels like a lightening and a relief.' AI concerns are especially dire in the video game industry, where human performers infuse characters with distinctive movements, shrieks, falls and plot-twisting dialogue. 'I hope and I believe that our members, when they look back on this, will say all of the sacrifices and difficulty we put ourselves through to achieve this agreement will ultimately be worth it because we do have the key elements that we need to feel confident and moving forward in this business,' said Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the SAG-AFTRA national executive director and chief negotiator. Here's a look at the contract currently up for vote, and what it means for the future of the video game industry. How did the current strike play out? Video game performers went on strike last July following nearly two years of failed negotiations with major game studios, as both sides remained split over generative AI regulations. More than 160 games signed interim agreements accepting AI provisions SAG-AFTRA was seeking, the union said, which allowed some work to continue. The video game industry is a massive global industry, generating an estimated US$187 billion in 2024, according to game market forecaster Newzoo. 'OD,' and 'Physint' were two games delayed due to the strike during the filming and casting stage, video game developer Hideo Kojima wrote in December. Riot Games, a video game developer, announced that same month that some new skins in 'League of Legends' would have to use existing voice-overs, since new content couldn't be recorded by striking actors. Skins are cosmetic items that can change the visual appearance of a player and is sometimes equipped with new voice-overs and unique recorded lines. The proposed contract 'builds on three decades of successful partnership between the interactive entertainment industry and the union' to deliver 'historic wage increases' and 'industry-leading AI provisions,' wrote Audrey Cooling, a spokesperson for the video game producers involved in the deal. 'We look forward to continuing to work with performers to create new and engaging entertainment experiences for billions of players throughout the world,' Cooling wrote. Video game performers had previously gone on strike in October 2016, with a tentative deal reached 11 months later. That strike helped secure a bonus compensation structure for voice actors and performance capture artists. The agreement was ratified with 90 per cent support, with ten per cent of members voting. The proposed contract secures an increase in performer compensation of just over 15 per cent upon ratification and an additional three per cent increase each year of the three-year contract. How would AI use change in video games? AI concerns have taken center stage as industries across various sectors attempt to keep up with the fast-evolving technology. It's a fight that Hollywood writers and actors undertook during the historic film and TV strikes that forced the industry to a stop in 2023. 'In the last few years, it's become obvious that we are at an inflection point where rules of the road have to be set for AI, and if they aren't, the consequences are potentially very serious,' Crabtree-Ireland said. 'I think that really made this negotiation extra important for all of us.' SAG-AFTRA leaders have billed the issues behind the labor dispute — and AI in particular — as an existential crisis for performers. Game voice actors and motion capture artists' likenesses, they say, could be replicated by AI and used without their consent and without fair compensation. The proposed contract delineates clear restrictions on when and how video game companies can create digital replicas, which use AI to generate new performances that weren't recorded by an actor. Employers must obtain written permission from a performer to create a digital replica — consent which must be granted during the performer's lifetime and is valid after death unless otherwise limited, the contract states. The time spent creating a digital replica will be compensated as the same amount of work time it would have required for a new performance. The agreement also requires the employer to provide the performer with a usage report that details how the replica was used and calculates the expected compensation. Elmaleh, who has been voice acting since 2010 and had to turn down projects throughout the strike, said securing these gains required voice actors bring vulnerability and openness to the bargaining table. 'We talked a lot about the personal, the way it affects our displacement as workers and just the sustainability of our careers,' Elmaleh said. 'Our work involves your inner child. It's being very vulnerable, it's being playful.' What's next for the video game industry? The tentative agreement centers on consent, compensation and transparency, which union leaders say are key elements needed for the industry to keep progressing. As the contract is considered by union members, Elmaleh and Crabtree-Ireland said further work needs to be done to ensure the provisions are as broad as necessary. 'Even though there's a deal that's been made now, and we've locked in a lot of really crucial protections and guardrails, the things that we haven't been able to achieve yet, we're going to be continuing to fight for them,' Crabtree-Ireland said. 'Every time these contracts expire is our chance to improve upon them.' Elmaleh said she hopes both the video game companies and performers can soon work collaboratively to develop guidelines on AI as the technology evolves — a process she said should start well the proposed contract would expire in October 2028. Leading negotiations has felt like a full-time job for Elmaleh, who took on the role in a volunteer capacity. As the efforts die down, she said she anxiously anticipates returning to video game acting in a landscape that is safer for performers. Voice acting 'is core to who I am. It's why I fought so hard for this. I wouldn't do this if I didn't love what I do so much. I think it's so special and worthy of protection,' she said. --- Itzel Luna, The Associated Press
