-'''Merrill Bobolit''' is a recurring character on the [[television]] [[drama]] ''[[Nip/Tuck]]'', portrayed by [[Joey Slotnick]].
-==Season 1==
-When the show opens, and throughout most of Season 1, Merrill is on top of the world thanks to billboards he has put up all over [[Miami]], despite the fact that he was the worst in the graduating class he was part of with [[Christian Troy]] and [[Sean McNamara]]. He's so famous and wealthy that he almost succeeds in stealing Christian from McNamara/Troy. Later on in the season, he gives Christian a [[Lamborghini]] in exchange for his girlfriend, [[Kimber Henry]].
-Even though Sean and Christian are [[blackmail]]ed into performing surgeries on [[Escobar Gallardo]]'s [[drug mule]]s, they still have the sense to pass up a surgery on a [[show dog]], even though the owner offers to pay them $150,000. Merrill performs this surgery during the final episode of the first season, but the dog dies on the operating table. He is sued and loses his [[medical license]].
-==Season 2==
-Merrill is found during Season 2 to be doing cheap, illegal surgeries in the back of a [[Korea]]n nail salon. Not only is he performing these surgeries in a non-[[sterilization (microbiology)|sterile]] environment, he's addicted to the [[nitrous oxide|anesthetic gas]]. Christian gets him to go to [[Narcotics Anonymous]], even volunteering to be his [[sponsor (commercial)|sponsor]]. When Christian can't make it to a meeting, Merrill loses his mind and [[manslaughter|accidentally kills]] a woman who Sean and Christian refuse to perform unnecessary [[liposuction]] on. The salon owner and Merrill then cut the girl into pieces to dispose of her. Christian shows up and Merrill and the shop owner attack him, and Merrill, obviously very high, tries to perform a [[face transplant]]. Christian, however, tricks Merrill into removing his own face first; he passes out from the  agonizing pain, allowing Christian to escape.
-==Season 4==
-Merrill was not seen for some time after that Season 2 episode. Merrill had cut a deal to avoid manslaughter charges and spent three years in prison. However, being an informant, he was treated badly and raped repeatedly, tearing his anus to the point where he could no longer control his bowel movements.<ref> [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0866231/quotes "Nip/Tuck" Merrill Bobolit (2003)] </ref>
-He later became Gallardo's [[sex slave]]. Escobar threatened to tell the cops on Sean and Christian if they did not perform surgery on both him and Merrill. Merrill received surgery on his torn anus, and then supervised as Escobar received his surgery. Merrill turned down the [[anesthesia]] and attempted to kill Escobar while he was being operated on, but was stopped when Sean punched him. His last scene in the show thus far is being carried away by jail security kicking and screaming.
