The New York Post has a nice interview with Julian McMahon about this season of Nip/Tuck. I don’t know how new it is, but it just popped up in my inbox today.

Here’s a few of my favorite excerpts, but you should read the whole thing. It’s terrific.

HW: Do you feel there is more comedy to the show than there ever has been?

Julian McMahon: This is the funniest it’s been. I always thought it was going to be a funny show. I don’t know what the hell happened, to be honest. I wasn’t a really big fan. There you go. That’s what happens. And now, as far as I’m concerned, we’re where the show we should have been five years ago.

HW: Will Sean’s success with Hearts & Scalpels create a wedge between the two as the season goes on?

JM: They’ve always got their tit for tat stuff. One of them gets something and becomes good at something or becomes successful because of a surgery or a TV show. The other ones always tries to get back. He’s not quite as obvious as I am. It’s always about that competition between the two of them. I think that’s kind of what makes the show interesting, the way that they have these two people that can’t live without each other, but at the same time do stuff behind each other’s back and in front of each other. You just think, “”Oh, my God. How would you ever maintain a relationship with somebody like that?”" That’s the guise.

I love that Julian really gets this show and what it’s all about. I find it interesting that he never really care for it during the first season. I wonder how he feels about the later seasons. Hmmm.
