william humphrey played fagin in a silent movie of oliver twist in 1909. other famous fagins include 'alex guiness' in 1948 and ron moody in the musical version. most actors who play fagin now base their performance on Moody's jewish fagin

[Octavius]

There was a version called "A Modern Oliver Twist" from 1906 but there is little information on the actors or the film.
