Jamie Dornan could find himself going up against his father when looking for acting roles after Professor Jim Dornan landed a small part in Marcella.
The retired obstetrician and gynaecologist, who once considered acting as a career, appears in the third series of the ITV drama, which stars Anna Friel and was shot in Belfast.
Professor Dornan appears as a deputy chief constable in the second episode of the latest season alongside Ray Panthaki, who plays DI Rav Sangha, Eugene O Hare, who stars as Eddie Lyons, and Orla Mullan, who plays DS Roz MacFarlene.
