Patrick Niall MacGinnis was an Irish actor and physician. On screen, he was well-known for his character roles with a "poetic timbre", though he occasionally played leading parts like the title character in Martin Luther (1953) and the occultist antagonist of the classic horror film Night of the Demon (1957). In theatre, he was an accomplished Shakespearean, and a member of the Old Vic Company.
