We are grateful for the memories.' Son of former prime minister, Sir William McMahon, Julian became an actor, first making a name for himself with a role in the popular Home and Away. He went on to have numerous starring roles in popular television programs including Another World, Profiler, Charmed, Nip/Tuck, Runaways and FBI: Most Wanted. McMahon also portrayed Dr Doom in the superhero film Fantastic Four and its sequel in one of his most notable roles on the big screen which earnt him a nomination for choice movie villain at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards.

"Even though we played each other's nemeses, there was always so much lightness and laughter working together. Every encounter with him was a joy,' he said. 'It was an honour to be Dr. Richards to his Dr. Doom. My heart goes out to his family 'God speed, Julian.' Another Charmed co-star, Holly Marie Combs described McMahon as "one of a kind" but said that was an "understatement". "Your zest for life and crazy making sense of humour will be sorely missed," she said. 'The joy and laughter you were the direct cause of will always be remembered.
