LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lifetime Live TV premiered the gripping thriller 'My Child Has My Doctor's Face', delivering an array of suspenseful twist that keep viewers riveted until the very end.

'My Child Has My Doctor's Face', which is written by Dane K Braun and Joshua Butler, revolves around Jessica Graff (Natalie Polisson), a woman who is having difficulty conceiving.

The story unfolds as Jessica and her husband, Dylan Graff (Jason Tobias), opt for fertility treatments and eventually conceive. However, the situation becomes tense when Jessica notices striking similarities between her child's features and those of her fertility doctor, Dr. Preston Bellamy (Daniel O'Reilly).

Daniel delivers a compelling performance as Dr. Preston, the fertility doctor whose demeanor exudes fear and suspicion. Daniel's ability to convey fear through his expressions and body language is particularly impressive.

Dr. Preston replaces the father's genetic material with his own during Jessica's IVF treatment. This shocking revelation adds a sinister layer to Dr. Preston's character, transforming him from a trusted fertility doctor into a manipulative and deceitful figure.

Daniel's portrayal of Dr. Preston's actions is chilling, as he effectively conveys the character's twisted motivations and the lengths he is willing to go to ensure that his legacy continues. 

Daniel's portrayal of the doctor's interactions with patients is particularly compelling. He effortlessly conveys empathy and understanding, but there's also a hint of something else—perhaps a hidden agenda or a personal stake in the outcome of his patients' treatments.

Whether it's a subtle shift in posture or a fleeting expression, Daniel can convey a wealth of meaning without saying a word.
