Being Ryan Murphy's first television project, the drama premiered on July 22, 2003, and waved its final goodbye on its 100th episode after earning several awards and making the cast familiar faces on television.

Julian's character, Christian, knew all about womanizing and made time for starring in both Fantastic Four films as Dr. Doom in between his shenanigans as the good doctor on "Nip/Tuck."

Shortly after the series ended, Julian landed the role as Robert Stanton in the all-star hit comedy "RED," alongside Helen Mirren, Bruce Willis, and Morgan Freeman.

For the rest of 2012 and 2013, Julian appeared mainly in movies, including "Fire with Fire" and "Paranoia," before starring as Liam in "You're Not You" in 2014, the same year he married his third wife, Kelly Paniagua.

The actor notably guest-starred in "Hunters" in 2016, followed by his role as Jonah in the 2017 series "Runaways." In 2019, Julian went on to star as FBI Agent Jess LaCroix in the series "FBI."

Dylan had 16 years of acting under the belt by the time he became known as Dr. Sean McNamara on the popular show. Sean differed from Christian, like night and day.

Dr. McNamara reached a stage in his life where past decisions haunted him while constantly facing family troubles with his wife and children. Dylan's career after "Nip/Tuck" went off the air faced a smoother path.

A role in the film, "Secretariat" alongside Diane Lane, followed after the series concluded, and so did guest appearances in series, including "Revenge," "NCIS: New Orleans," and "Unforgettable," which aired from 2011 until 2016.

The actor's next notable appearance came in the 2018 television series "Life Sentence" as Peter Abbott and stars in the 2019 action-comedy television series, "Whiskey Cavalier."

Dylan has three children; with his first wife, Melora Walters, whom he divorced on July 29, 2003, he has a son, Charles, and a daughter, Joanna Marie. From his marriage to Joanna Going, Dylan has another daughter named Stella. The couple divorced in December 2012.

Shortly after the series ended, Joely returned to television in "The Tudors," followed by her appearance in the popular film "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" in 2011.
