ABOUT JULIAN

Julian Dana William McMahon was born on 27 July, 1968 in Sydney, Australia to Sir William and Lady Sonia McMahon, the second of their three children. He has older sister, Melinda, and a younger sister, Deborah. Since his father was the prime minister of Australia in the 1970s, Julian was no stranger to the public eye in his early years. He briefly attended the University of Sydney to study law, but quickly grew bored with it and began modeling and appearing in commercials. It wasn't long before he won the lead in a primetime drama, 'The Power, The Passion', and by the time he moved on to his second series, 'Home and Away', he quit law school to pursue an acting career. He also performed on stage in "Love Letters" in Melbourne and Sydney, as well as a musical version of "Home and Away" in England. After moving to the United States, Julian found it difficult to break into Hollywood because of his Australian accent, but quickly overcame the problem and won the role of Ian Rain on the daytime drama "Another World". During the two years he spent on "Another World", Julian also guest-starred on the sitcom "Will & Grace" and appeared in the feature film "Wet and Wild Summer". Leaving "Another World", Julian took on another television role in the NBC drama "Profiler" as John Grant, a detective with the Atlanta Police Department who joined the FBI's Violent Crimes Task Force. During the four year run of "Profiler", Julian also starred in the movies "In Quiet Night" and "Magenta". When "Profiler" was abruptly cancelled, Julian quickly moved on to the WB's primetime drama "Charmed" as Cole Turner. While filming "Charmed", Julian also took on roles in the Jeff Daniels movie "Chasing Sleep" and the USA cable movie "Another Day". During his two and a half-season stay on "Charmed", Julian gained legions of fans due to his wide-ranging portrayal of Cole. When he left "Charmed" in December of 2003 to pursue other acting opportunities, he took on a pilot for a new FX drama about two plastic surgeons. "Nip/Tuck" was picked up by FX for a twelve episode first season run, where Julian would play Dr. Christian Troy. "Nip/Tuck" was a critical success in its first season, hailed as groundbreaking, and was nominated for the "Best Television Show" Golden Globe award. The success of "Nip/Tuck" made it no big surprise that the show was renewed for a second season, which is currently airing on FX. Julian is currently single, but has been married twice, first to actress Dannii Minogue, and second to actress Brooke Burns, with whom he shares a daughter, Madison.
