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.”

  2. Oh wow that’s awful. I loved Nip/Tuck.

    Fuck cancer.

  4. Not sure if it’s possible, but they should include a tribute to him in the upcoming F4 movie

  5. Wow, in the same year Fantastic 4 is about to come out.

  6. Oh no, he was so young. I’ll always remember him as Cole from *Charmed*. May he rest in peace.

  9. Fuuuuuck that’s a rough one.

    He was always fun in everything.

  10. Dude, this makes me fucking sad. I loved Nip/Tuck! Between that and Breaking Bad, those are my most watched shows ever. People shit on those Fantastic Four movies, but I thought he was a badass Doctor Doom. R.I.P. Julian.

  12. Sucks man. NipTuck was so good. I haven’t seen it since it came out.

  13. Darn, I saw ‘McMahon’ and thought “Oh good, gross Vince is gone.”

    But, alas…

  17. I remember him being in the running for the Bond series for a while. I loved him in Nip/Tuck and those in the industry I know who worked with him said he was always a class act.

    56 is way too young.

  18. Fuck cancer. Sending love to his family.

    I loved Nip/Tuck because of him.

  19. wtf?!! And right after Michael Madsen? Why is everyone except Trump dying fuck this timeline

  20. He was INSANE in Nip/Tuck. He was just so good. Truly shocking

  21. He was so fucking sleazy and great in Nip Tuck ! Thanks for the great entertainment Julian ❤️you will be missed . Rest in love always 💔

  22. Damn I was a fan of his as Doctor Christian Troy and Doctor Doom. RIP.

  23. OMG. I had no idea he was even sick. To die at just 56, that’s terrible.

    He was fantastic. He was great in Nip/Tuck, however I will always remember him for his work on Charmed. He was amazing on that show. RIP

  24. What awful news. He was great on “Charmed”. I wish I had watched “Nip/Tuck”; that always looked good. I just went to *The Surfer* a couple months ago, and he was great in that, the first time I’ve watched him with an Australian accent.

  25. Dang.
    Guy was a great actor and legendary in nip tuck.
    RIP.

  26. F‘‘k, I’m so sorry. That’s way too young to go. Didn’t his ex, Shannen Doherty, die of cancer as well?

    So sorry to his family and loved ones. Was a big fan from a young age on and followed most of his work

  30. Thanks for posting this picture. He had the most amazing smile and charm about him!

  31. I’ll always remember him delivering the line:

    “I can’t believe I have to say this Matt, but you have to stop having sex with your sister”

    I love Nip/Tuck, the later seasons get wild.

    RIP

  32. Nip/Tuck is so iconic. It’s the most batshit show maybe ever and I relished every moment of it. I used to sneak watch it when I was a teenager.

  33. Great actor. RIP.

    I will always remember the watch parties we had during college years when Nip/Tuck was on. It was the biggest show on television for a few years there and we had a group of about a dozen of us watching together every week for a couple years 2004-2005. Haven’t done anything like that for that long for any other show since then.
