Tributes From Co-Stars and Industry Peers

Following the announcement of Julian McMahon’s death, tributes from across the entertainment industry have poured in, reflecting the impact of his decades-long career and the personal warmth he brought to every set.

Alyssa Milano, McMahon’s co-star in Charmed, was among the first to respond publicly. In an emotional tribute shared on social media, she wrote:

“Julian was pure magic. From the moment he stepped onto the Charmed set, he brought an energy that was both powerful and gentle. He lit up every room and every scene. Working with him was a gift. He will be deeply missed.”

Holly Marie Combs, who also starred in Charmed, recalled McMahon’s sense of humor and generosity:

“Julian never took himself too seriously, even when the work was intense. He had this rare combination of charm and humility that made everyone feel at ease. We’ve lost someone incredibly special.”

Nicolas Cage, who worked closely with McMahon on the 2024 film The Surfer, released a statement through his publicist, saying:

“Julian brought gravitas and empathy to his role in The Surfer, and he did it with a quiet dignity that left a lasting impression on the cast and crew. He was thoughtful, fiercely talented, and truly kind.”

Ioan Gruffudd, McMahon’s co-star in Fantastic Four, shared his memories of working with the actor on the superhero franchise:

“Julian was the ultimate professional—always prepared, always thoughtful. Despite playing one of the most iconic villains in the Marvel universe, he was one of the kindest people I’ve known. I’ll miss his wit, his wisdom, and his friendship.”

Ryan Murphy, the creator of Nip/Tuck, also honored McMahon, calling him “an essential part of one of our most daring shows”:

“Julian made Dr. Christian Troy unforgettable. His portrayal of a flawed, charismatic, and deeply human character pushed boundaries and captivated millions. I’m incredibly grateful for his trust and his talent.”

CBS Studios, which produced FBI: Most Wanted, released an official statement:

“Julian McMahon was a cornerstone of FBI: Most Wanted. He brought heart and intelligence to every episode and was deeply respected by cast, crew, and executives alike. We send our deepest condolences to his family.”

Beyond Hollywood, tributes have also come from Australian industry figures, many of whom remembered McMahon not only as a trailblazer but as a proud representative of Australian talent on the world stage.

Georgie Parker, long-time Home and Away star, wrote:

“Julian helped pave the way for Australian actors overseas. We’re proud of where he came from and what he achieved. A true gentleman, gone far too soon.”

Fans around the world have also been paying tribute, sharing clips of McMahon’s most iconic performances — from Charmed’s tortured Cole Turner to Nip/Tuck’s charmingly flawed Christian Troy — celebrating a career that left a permanent mark on television and film.
