Arthur Wayland Ellison (1899â€"1994) was an actor and director who
worked for the Kansas City Power and Light Company for forty-eight
years before becoming a professional actor. Prior to that, he had
appeared in scores of amateur stage productions in the Kansas City
area. He was born in Potsdam, New York and he died in Kansas City,
Missouri. Director Herk Harvey speculated that Art Ellison had acted
in more industrial and educational films than any other, including
some directed by a young Robert Altman. He is best known for his part
in the 1962 cult-classic horror film Carnival of Souls.
