John Hensley Actor, Nip/Tuck, FX, Tuesdays
After letting a mentally ill bud take the fall for the hit-and-run he committed, circumcising himself, and falling for a transgender life coach (Famke Janssen), word has it John Hensley's Nip/Tuck character, Matt McNamara, is headed where the boys are. And like many questioning young bucks, he isn't ready to talk about it. "I'm not saying [it's] man on man or man on girl, I'm not saying it's even man on she-male," he teases. "I'm just saying that he explores."

Which is something Hensley feels is spot-on for his character, who returns for season 3 of FX's bangin' plastic-surgery soap opera still broken up over his MIA ex who used to be a man, baby. "Just by terms of the fact that ... the love of his life is suddenly not there, I really think it seems natural, though misguided at moments. He has to embark on a bit of exploration."
But be warned, folks: On a show where gang bangs and the gropings of Julian McMahon's bare ass are de rigueur, what Matt finds is sure to be far from normal. "Absolutely," agrees Hensley. "Even things that are arguably irredeemable ... and I think that it's really wonderful that the show is willing to potentially put one of their main characters in such a place without softening the edges around it."
