The Good Father The Martin MacNeill Story on Lifetime
“The Good Father: The Martin MacNeill Story” is a true story that is coming to Lifetime Channel. It is followed by the Lifetime original movie “Imperfect High” starring Dance Moms alum, Nia Sioux. Get more details on The Martin MacNeill Story now.
Tom Everett Scott plays Dr. Martin MacNeill in the Lifetime original movie. Dr. Martin MacNeill was a respected doctor and pillar of the local community. He was happily married to his wife Michele and they together had 8 children. His daughter, Alexis adored her father and wanted to follow in his footsteps to become a doctor.
However, plans soon change after Dr. MacNeill encourages his wife to go for plastic surgery. This decision ultimately leads to her drowning. Now just a few weeks after his wife mysteriously passed away, the doctor brings home a live-in nanny, Gypsy Willis. Gypsy is not only his children’s nanny but his mistress as well.
This causes Alexis to question everything she ever thought about her father, discovering the depth of his lies. It boils down to bogus medical credentials, false military records, and to question if this man was really capable of murder.
