My Take
Julian McMahon's passing in 2025 made me reflect on what an underrated craftsman he was. Born the son of an Australian prime minister, he could have lived comfortably in his father's shadow; instead he built his own name through soap operas, then stole entire shows as Cole Turner in Charmed and the gloriously vain surgeon of Nip/Tuck. He had a rare gift for making charm and menace feel like the same quality, and American television leaned on that magnetism for decades. I think of him as proof that being compulsively watchable is its own form of greatness, and I miss knowing he is out there working.
