Julian is gecast in de spin-off van de CBS serie ‘FBI’. In de nieuwe serie die ‘FBI: Most Wanted’ zal de hoofdrol gaan spelen, zijn personage Jess LaCroix zal het hoofd zijn van de afdeling die Amerika’s meest gezochte criminelen probeert te vinden. In de lente zal er een zogenoemde back-door Pilot te zien zijn in het huidige seizoen van ‘FBI’!

Julian McMahon has been cast in the lead role of the planned “FBI” spinoff currently in the works at CBS, Variety has confirmed.

The new series would be titled “FBI: Most Wanted.” It would follow the division of the FBI tasked with tracking and capturing the notorious criminals on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. It will air as a planted spinoff episode, or backdoor pilot, of “FBI” that will be broadcast in spring 2019. The project has received a series commitment from the network.

McMahon will play Jess LaCroix, described as an “agent’s agent” who is at the top of his game, and oversees the team from the FBI’s Most Wanted Unit, which is assigned the most extreme and egregious cases.

McMahon recently starred in the Marvel-Hulu series “Runaways” and is known for his time as one of the two leads on the FX drama “Nip/Tuck.” His other television roles include “Charmed,” “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency,” and “Profiler.” He also starred in the 2005 “Fantastic Four” film and its sequel “Rise of the Silver Surfer.”

He is repped by ICM, MGMT Entertainment, and Bloom Hergott Diemer.

“Most Wanted” will be written and executive produced by Dick Wolf and Rene Balcer. Balcer has served as a consulting producer on “FBI” and has previously collaborated with Wolf on multiple iterations of the “Law & Order” franchise. “FBI” executive producers Arthur W. Forney and Peter Jankowski will also executive produce “Most Wanted” with Fred Berner directing the initial episode. Berner has previously produced and directed for several “Law & Order” shows as well as the “Chicago” shows. Like “FBI,” Wolf Films and Universal Television will produce in association with CBS Television Studios

Julian heeft zich in een recent interview uitgelaten over wat hij zou vinden van een eventuele reboot van de serie ‘Nip/Tuck’ waar hij 6 jaar lang in te zien was. Vooralsnog zijn hiervoor nog geen plannen.

Julian McMahon may be best known at the moment as the mysterious and powerful Jonah in Marvel’s Runaways series, but way back when (in 2003, to be precise) he was better known as plastic surgeon Dr Christian Troy in Nip/Tuck.

And, in good news for the writers and broadcasters currently caught up in the renewal and revival series trend, McMahon reckons that a revival of Nip/Tuck would be “fascinating”.

Speaking to Digital Spy, the actor reflected on how the series started “right at the precipice of the plastic surgery industry”, and added that he still finds his character “pretty interesting”.

“It’d be pretty fascinating to pick up those guys this far into it, with what’s happening now,” he said.

“And those characters – that’s one of the most extraordinary characters I’ve ever seen, Christian Troy. And I don’t see why we couldn’t see him at any stage of his life. I find him pretty interesting.”

McMahon also added that when he read the script for the show – from American Horror Story’s Ryan Murphy, fact fans – he knew he had to play the part.

“When I first read the script, I had to play that guy. I could see it and I could feel it. It felt like part of my system,” he continued.

“They didn’t want me to play that part. That was a really difficult job for me to get. But I was so determined to play that part that I just wasn’t going to give up on it.”

Nip/Tuck ultimately aired for six seasons between 2003 and 2010, while McMahon’s current series Runaways is about to head into its second season, with the actor promising that the new run will be very faithful to the comic books.

“It was almost like, the first season was a prologue, and now we’re getting into where the comic book starts to run,” he told us. “Season two, I think, is pretty faithful to the comic book.”

Marvel’s Runaways season 2 premieres on Wednesday, January 2 at 9pm on SYFY. In the US, the second season begins streaming on Hulu on Friday, December 21.

Three teenage thieves infiltrate a mansion dinner party, unaware that it is secretly being hosted by a serial killer cult for the social elite.

Some actors just seem like they’re destined to play the villain and Julian McMahon continues to use his leading man good looks to turn some pretty despicable characters into charismatic baddies you almost end up rooting for. In Monster Party directed by Chris von Hoffman (Drifter), McMahon is the head of the Dawson family – an elite family putting on a bizarre dinner party where every guest seems to be hiding something. As three thieves masquerading as caterers plan to rob the Dawson mansion, they slowly find out everyone in attendance is in recovery from a very unique addiction.

Monster Party is stacking up to be one of the more original releases as we come to the end of the year and speaking with McMahon he seemed to be proud of the ensemble work in the film. There’s also a healthy helping of blood and guts served up for dessert. We talked about the fun of playing a diabolical patriarch, McMahon’s favorite genre roles from Charmed to Dr. Doom in Fantastic Four, and what’s coming up in season 2 of Marvel’s Runaways.

The story follows three thieves who plan a daring heist posing as waiters at a fancy Malibu mansion dinner party in hopes of paying off an urgent debt. When their plan goes horribly wrong, the trio realizes the dinner guests are not as innocent as they seem and their simple cash grab becomes a violent and desperate battle to get out of the house alive.

DC: Can you talk a little about the addiction that this group of elite dinner companions are going through without giving too much away?

JM: I think you’d liken it to any kind of addictive qualities whether it’s alcohol or drugs or food or whatever it is. With this particular family and this particular group, actually, it seems to be something that they flourish with and they’re just burying their demons when they can’t express themselves that way. Their demons are probably a little stronger and more overt and powerful than their lives without them.
