Julian McMahon, the handsome and charming Aussie who somehow ended up with a career playing sinister and arrogant characters, has passed away from cancer. He was only 56.
He played Dr. Doom in an earlier wave of Fantastic Four movies – the ones where Chris Evans played The Human Torch rather than Captain America.

And Michael Madsen, film tough guy, passed away at 67. The explanation was “cardiac arrest,” which doesn’t really say anything.
His sister, actress Virginia Madsen, wrote:
My brother Michael has left the stage. He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother — etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark.
Well said!
Awww…
I liked Julian McMahon as Cole Turner on Charmed
Two solid actors at once at too young of an age.
That sucks.
PR
This year sucks. We’re losing a lot of cool people.
