On FX's "Nip/Tuck," Joely Richardson portrays Julia McNamara, the estranged wife of Dr. Sean McNamara and the mother of their two children, Matt and Annie.  In Season 3, Julia revealed that Matt is Christian's biological son – an act that relieved her of overwhelming guilt and nearly destroyed Sean, Matt and the practice of McNamara/Troy. In Season 4, Julia gains strength in independence and, with the help of her less-than-warm mother, asks Sean for a divorce. She also enters into a unique partnership with Gina Russo.

"Nip/Tuck" marked Joely Richardson's U.S. television debut. In 2004 and 2005, Joely Richardson garnered back-to-back Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress in a Drama Series as well as much critical praise for her extraordinary portrayal of a woman caught in deep emotional struggles.

Joely Richardson has also starred in "Fallen Angel" with Gary Sinise for The Hallmark Channel and "Lies My Mother Told Me" with Hayden Pannetiere for Lifetime. Earlier this year, Joely Richardson filmed "Wallis and Edward," playing Wallis Simpson. Joely Richardson began her theatre career doing seasons at the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Old Vic and The West End. More recently, Joely Richardson played the title role in "Madame Melville" at The Promenade in New York, opposite Macauley Culkin.

On television in the UK, Joely Richardson starred with Sean Bean in Ken Russell's "Lady Chatterley's Lover," The Echo with Clive Owen and "Heading Home" with Gary Oldman.

Joely Richardson has also starred in many feature films including: David Hare's "Wetherby" (with her mother, Vanessa Redgrave) and Judi Dench; Peter Greenaways "Drowning by Numbers;" "Shining Through" with Melanie Griffith; Stephen Poliakoff's "The Tribe" with Johnie Rhys Meyers; "Hollow Reed;" "Sister, My Sister;" Jim Brooks' "I'll Do Anything;" Walt Disney's 1"01 Dalmations;" Paramount's "Event Horizon;" "Maybe Baby" with Hugh Laurie; "Loch Ness" with Ted Danson; "The Patriot " with Mel Gibson, and "Affair of the Necklace" with Hilary Swank.
