Dr. Dylan Walsh in Congo
Now I know why I love Nip/Tuck so much. Dylan Walsh, who plays Dr. Sean McNamara in FX’s Nip/Tuck, was cast as Dr. Peter Elliot in the modern marvel of American cinema, Congo (1995).
This also happened to be my favorite movie from my childhood, so it only makes sense that my young adulthood would be heavily influenced by Nip/Tuck.
Dr. Dylan Walsh in Nip/Tuck
It’s amazing how Hollywood develops an actor’s skills. Dylan Walsh plays a doctor in both of his major roles, and over the course of a little less than 10 years, Dr. Walsh went from studying ape culture (and their insatiable thirst for diamonds) in the Congo region of Africa to becoming one of the most prominent plastic surgeons in the Miami and Los Angeles areas.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Congo, Dr. Walsh persuaded the writers of Nip/Tuck to showcase both of his talents, by performing plastic surgery on an ape. One of Walsh’s close friends in Hollywood, whom he met on the set of Congo where she was an extra, is Kiki the Gorilla. She acts as herself in the episode from Season 3 (Episode 2, Kiki), and needs plastic surgery done to remove a scar from her face, so her online-gorilla-lover will mate with her when they finally meet for the first time in gorilla.
I’ll save you the trouble – McNamara/Troy does the surgery, but when Kiki and the male gorilla meet, the male gorilla notices something is different and kills her.
Webcams don’t lie.

Are we totally going to forget the 2002 special effects driven action/thriller “Power Play”, Matthew?
That one is in it’s own league, to be honest. Most mortals can’t even watch the entire thing without spontaneously combusting.
I love that show. I really do. Did you know the cat-face was based on a real woman in NYC? She is a total nut job with millions and has something like 14 tiny italian greyhounds she walks around town.
creepy.
I was unaware there is a cat-faced woman in New York City, although I’m not surprised, with teenage mutant ninja turtles running around in the sewers.

Matt,
I am both inspired and in awe of your knowledge of Nip/Tuck and the historical acting career of Sean McNamara.
Although I wish he would wear those 3-D glasses while doing his plastic surgery montages…
funny story, I was googling Nip/Tuck episodes and this came up first(Clint forces me to read his rants bc I dont get enough of that on a daily basis)
Thanks for enlightening me on the history of Sean McNamara aka Dylan Walsh.
Also, I think the gorillas taught us a valuable lesson….
pointless plastic surgery=instant death
Sincerely,
Caitlin (clints gf)
