"Excerpt: Did you know that your "Nip/Tuck" character was a transsexual
when you accepted the role or was it something [series creator] Ryan
Murphy sprung on you at the last minute?
He sprung that one on me right before the last episode. We were
shooting and someone said "Ryan really wants to talk to you." I went
into his office, sat down and he goes "I have a great idea for the
ending! Ava is a man!" One of the first things I said was "Can you
please not show the surgery?" I thought that could've been the end of
my career as I knew it."
