Nip/Tuck

About

Cast and Crew

A graduate of NYU film school, Sean worked under Tom Fontana for two years before becoming a staff writer on the second season of HBO’s Oz. During that time, Sean created the show Hoop Life for Showtime and served as co- producer for the series run.&nbsp;In 2001, Sean moved from New York to Los Angeles and joined the staff of NBC’s Law &amp; Order and later worked on the CBS drama Robbery: Homicide Division. This is his fifth season writing for nip/tuck and his second season working as a director.&nbsp;

Dylan Walsh portrays “Dr. Sean McNamara,” a dedicated, brilliant plastic surgeon and partner in McNamara/Troy, a plastic surgery practice that has relocated from Miami to Los Angeles. Often conflicted about his life choices, Sean relies on Christian for strength and a sense of family. Last season, Sean was emotionally isolated: Christian became engaged, his son Matt married Kimber Henry and his wife Julia divorced him and departed Miami for New York with daughter Annie and son Conor. This season, Sean begins dating in a new city and gains confidence both personally and professionally.&nbsp;

Julian McMahon plays “Dr. Christian Troy,” the business partner, best friend and confidante of Dr. Sean McNamara. Handsome, charming, and often promiscuous, Christian has no sexual inhibitions as he enjoys the perks that his lucrative career offers. Last season, Christian became engaged to Michelle – only to end the engagement when he learned of her dark, criminal past. This season, he embraces the Los Angeles nightlife and attempts to keep a betrayal from Sean as he resides in Malibu with Wilber, his 5-year-old adopted son. Christian’s near-constant need for love and attention takes him on a sexual journey that surprises him.&nbsp;

Joely Richardson plays “Julia McNamara,” the ex-wife of Dr. Sean McNamara and the mother of Matt (whose biological father is Dr. Christian Troy), Annie and Conor. Last season, before the birth of Conor, Julia learned that her baby would be born with ectrodactyly (“lobster claw syndrome”) and kept this information from Sean well into her pregnancy. After having an affair with Conor’s night nurse Marlowe (Peter Dinklage), Julia divorced Sean and left Miami for New York. This season, Julia brings Annie and Conor to Los Angeles for a visit – and reveals that she is already in a new romantic relationship.&nbsp;

John Hensley portrays “Matt McNamara,” the biological son of Christian and Julia, who considers both Christian and Sean to be his fathers. Last season, the often-withdrawn Matt found solace and comfort in Scientology and Kimber, whom he married after learning that they were pregnant. This season, Matt travels to Los Angeles seeking financial help from his parents, who are unaware of his true demons, his desperation and his endless lies.&nbsp;

Roma Maffia plays “Dr. Liz Cruz,” the outspoken lesbian anesthesiologist at McNamara/Troy who often challenges the views held by Sean and Christian. Last season, Liz was the victim of an underground ring of organ thieves, who stole one of her kidneys. In ill health, she underwent transplant surgery when a generous Dawn Budge (Rosie O’Donnell) donated one of her own kidneys to Liz. She also fell in love with another anesthesiologist, Poppy (Alanis Morrissette) – and quickly fell out of love when she realized that her new partner was a controlling and unstable woman. This season, Liz joins Sean and Christian in their new Beverly Hills practice.&nbsp;

Last season, Kimber joined the Church of Scientology and married Matt after she became pregnant. This season, the couple has a baby daughter Jenna, and Kimber battles new and familiar demons.&nbsp;
