I never watched Charmed or Nip/Tuck but he was good in the mediocre FF movies.

He was a really talented performer. Usually the best part of whatever he was in.

56!

He was the only thing I really liked in FBI: Most Wanted, and the show went downhill once he left. I wonder if it was because of the cancer?

He was excellent as Christian Troy on Nip/Tuck, and then I don’t recall seeing him around much after that, though he appears to have a lot of credits, What a great surprise to see him in The Residence (Netflix), even if his part isn’t very big.. You can see how much thinner he looks there, which I put down to age but which we now know he had cancer.
