 Prior to his demonic role as Cole on "Charmed," Australian actor Julian McMahon was best known to American television audiences for his portrayal of Detective John Grant on the television drama "Profiler." This season, he will star in the cable television movie "Another Day," co-starring Shannen Doherty and Brad Renfro, executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola.

The son of the late Sir William McMahon, who served as Prime Minister of Australia in the 1970s, McMahon grew up in the public eye until he escaped into academia as a law student at the University of Sydney. During his first year, however, the limelight beckoned and he won the lead in the primetime drama "The Power, The Passion." Law school was but a memory as he moved on to star in a second hit series, "Home and Away."

Moving to the United States to continue his career, McMahon broke into American television with a two-year stint as Ian Rain on the daytime drama "Another World." He also co-starred in the cable movie "In Quiet Night" and guest-starred on "Will & Grace."

On the big screen, McMahon appeared opposite Elliot Gould in the feature film "Wet and Wild Summer," appeared in "Magenta" and co-starred with Jeff Daniels in "Chasing Sleep." He has also starred on stage, most notably in Sydney and Melborne productions of "Love Letters."

McMahon now lives in Los Angeles, spending offscreen time surfing, biking and cooking. He currently stars on FX in the hit series, "Nip/Tuck".

Personal quotes

"I always look back on Home & Away with fondness, especially when I'm in the UK. But I had no idea what I was doing back then. I just fell into acting. It was only later that I became passionate about it."

"I like the oppourtunity to play characters who have these dark sides but make the audience empathise with them. You want them to think there is some kind of sweeter, softer side to it."

"There is a wealth of Australian talent in Hollywood right now but we're all pretty busy and it's not as though we're best mates. When we see each other, we say hello."
