CLEARWATER, USA — Australian-American actor Julian McMahon died on July 2 in Clearwater, Florida, after a battle with cancer. He was 56 years old.
His death was reported by Deadline, citing his wife Kelly, who said the actor "passed peacefully, surrounded by family" and "always tried to bring joy to his fans."
McMahon was born on July 27, 1968, in Sydney, the son of Australian Prime Minister Billy McMahon.
He transitioned from modeling to acting and became famous for his roles as Cole Turner in "Charmed," Dr. Christian Troy in "Nip/Tuck," Victor Von Doom in "Fantastic Four," and Agent Jess LaCroix in "FBI: Most Wanted."
According to Parade, his final projects — the series "The Residence" and the thriller "The Surfer" — will be released posthumously.
McMahon is survived by his wife and daughter Madison. Fans have been expressing condolences to his family.
