Dr. Christian Troy is a fictional character played by Julian McMahon on the FX Networks series Nip/Tuck. The show revolves around McNamara/Troy, the plastic surgery practice he runs with his business partner and best friend, Sean McNamara.

Christian Troy is initially characterized as a self-absorbed womanizer with no qualms about using people to get what he wants. He drives flashy cars, wears Gucci suits, and frequents Miami's best nightclubs. Christian's favourite drink is Absolut (vodka) neat.

He often asks for this in the scenes where he and Sean visit bars. The character is eventually shown to have a vulnerable side beneath his callous exterior, however. In one episode, he confesses that he was molested as a child by his foster father.

This early trauma destroyed his faith in a just god. In another story arc, he meets his biological mother, who tells him that he is the product of rape; she then cuts off any contact with him because he is the spitting image of his father, her rapist. He has had affairs with most of the series' female characters, including Sean's wife, Julia; unbeknownst (at least initially) to Sean, his son Matt is, in fact, Christian's biological child, with whom he is very close and protective of.

The show's first two seasons include many episodes centered around Christian's dysfunctional relationship with Kimber, a former patient whom he often manipulated and cheated on.
