Julian McMahon, star of ‘Charmed,' ‘Nip/Tuck,' and ‘FBI,' dies at 56
McMahon died on Wednesday in Clearwater, Fla., his wife, Kelly McMahon, confirmed to Deadline on Friday.
'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,' she told the outlet. '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.'
Kelly did clarify what type of cancer her husband had.
Born on July 27, 1968 in Sydney, Australia, McMahon first began a career as a model before making the move into acting. He quickly became a household name on the Aussie soap opera 'Home and Away,' then headed to Hollywood for another daytime role on NBC's 'Another World.'
In the mid-1990s, he transitioned into primetime shows, first with a series regular role on the NBC crime drama 'Profiler,' followed by his big break as half-demon Cole Turner on the hugely popular supernatural series 'Charmed.'
In 2003, he snagged his first leading role on American TV as the charming and womanizing Dr. Christian Troy in Ryan Murphy's 'Nip/Tuck.' The plastic surgery drama, which ran for six seasons and 100 episodes on FX, scored him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Series.
More recently, he appeared on Dick Wolf's 'FBI,' before getting tapped to star in its latest offshoot. As Special Agent Jess LaCroix on 'FBI: Most Wanted,' he led a team tasked with tracking down the country's most notorious criminals before leaving the show in 2022 at the end of season three.
While McMahon was undoubtedly known as a TV star, he was beloved by fans of superhero flicks for his role as Dr. Victor von Doom in 2005's 'Fantastic Four' and its 2007 sequel 'Rise of the Silver Surfer.'
His film credits also included 'Premonition' starring Sandra Bullock, the star-studded assassin film 'Red,' and 'The Surfer' with Nicolas Cage.
In addition to his wife of more than 10 years, McMahon is survived by his 25-year-old daughter Madison, whom he shared with ex-wife Brooke Burns.

Julian McMahon, ‘Nip/Tuck' and ‘Fantastic Four' star, dies at 56
After switching to prime-time television, his breakout role came when he played the half-human, half-demon Cole Turner on three seasons of the WB supernatural series 'Charmed.' Mr. McMahon achieved leading-man status when he began starring in the FX series 'Nip/Tuck' in 2003. His performance as a self-destructive playboy contrasted with Dr. Troy's strait-laced best friend, Dr. Sean McNamara, played by Dylan Walsh. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up On the show, which ran from 2003-10, the pair ran a plastic surgery practice, first in Miami and later in Los Angeles, and frequently sparred over the morality of their profession. Advertisement Mr. McMahon's cocky, confident characterization allowed him to deliver some fan-favorite lines, such as, 'She's a troublemaker and her shoes are cheap.' In 2005, Mr. McMahon went from playing a sex-addicted surgeon to portraying the maniacal Dr. Doom in the first of two 'Fantastic Four' theatrical releases, the 2005 movie, 'Fantastic Four,' and its 2007 sequel, 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.' Dr. Doom, a megalomaniacal villainous tycoon from the Marvel comic book series 'Fantastic Four,' which was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and debuted in 1961, wears a threatening silver mask to hide his scarred face. Advertisement Julian McMahon was born July 27, 1968, in Sydney, one of three children. His father was William McMahon, a former prime minister of Australia from 1971-72, and his mother, Lady Sonia McMahon, was a socialite and philanthropist. Mr. McMahon's survivors include his wife, Kelly, and a daughter, Madison. He married Brooke Burns, an American model and game show host, in 1999. They divorced in 2001. He and Dannii Minogue, an Australian singer, were married in 1994. They divorced a year later. Mr. McMahon embraced his father's legacy by playing the prime minister of Australia on the Netflix show 'The Residence,' a comedy murder mystery set at the White House that debuted in March. He also recently starred in the psychological thriller 'The Surfer' with Nicolas Cage. Promoting the film at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, earlier this year was one of Mr. McMahon's last public appearances. Mr. McMahon returned to Australia several times throughout his career to star in films there. Among them was the 2012 horror movie 'Bait,' about a group of shoppers who are hunted by 12-foot great white sharks after being trapped at a grocery store that has been flooded by a tsunami. He played the team leader Jess LaCroix in 'FBI: Most Wanted' on CBS from 2020-22. While he made a surprise exit from the show in March 2022, he paid tribute to the special agent on Instagram, writing that he and the character 'did some good work, some might even say great, and we had some fun along the way.'

Michael Scott's 'The Office' Condo Up for Sale: See the Price
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The condo apartment that Michael Scott lived in during the American series The Office is now up for sale on Zillow, with a pending sale as of July 1. On The Office, the condo was located at 126 Kellum Court inside the Kellum Court complex in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It was featured in several episodes, including the fan-favorites "The Dinner Party," "Fun Run," and "Dream Team." "The Dinner Party," the 13th episode of the show's fourth season, was ranked by Variety as the best episode of the entire series. Variety said the episode contained "some of the most hilarious scenes of the entire series." The condo was selected because of the "flow" and "openness," according to director Paul Feig during his guest appearance on the podcast Office Ladies, hosted by actors Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey, who played Pam Beesly and Angela Martin, respectively. The condo is actually located roughly an hour outside of downtown Los Angeles in the Reseda neighborhood, the listing boasts "famous neighbors" such as actor Johnny Depp and filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. Steve Carell, winner of Best Performance by an Actor In A Television Series - Musical Or Comedy for "The Office" and NBC's Jeff Zucker.

Charbonneau/WireImage for Universal Pictures The three-bed, three-bathroom condo is listed at $710,000 as a "very clean, well kept, turn-key home" that offers 1,458 square feet, has direct access to a two-car garage, and a back patio. The listing has a "pending sale" as of July 1 after 70 days on the market, but the realtor is still accepting back-up offers. A turn-key home means that the buyer should expect little to no updates or maintenance ahead of taking up residence. The property has a tax-assessed value of $656,477 and has a value as high as $736,000 as the "estimated sales range," on Zillow. The property requires a $550 per month Homeowners Association (HOA) fee, which covers yard maintenance and "controlled access" to the gated community and even includes earthquake insurance—likely unsurprising given its location. The Zillow listing for the property describes it as a "great starter home or downsize home as it can be easily managed and maintained." The listing previously sold in 2005, the year The Office debuted in the U.S.—for around $490,000 and was listed for sale on April 19 this year. The gated community in which home is located contains 36 homes overall, and based on previous sales, at least some of the properties have identical layouts. A condo located next door had been listed for sale in 2022, which had the "exact same floor plan," according to the New York Post. The home listed for $699,000 at that time, and ultimately sold for around $755,000.
