Tom McGinnis was a semi-professional actor from Topeka, Kansas, who was
active in that town's civic theater and also frequently appeared in
industrial and educational films made by the Centron Corporation in
nearby Lawrence, Kansas. There, McGinnis often worked with director
Herk Harvey, who cast McGinnis in his only theatrical film,
Tanz der toten Seelen (1962), as
the organ factory boss.
