Ron Moody (born Ronald Moodnick; 8 January 1924 – 11 June 2015) was a British actor, best known for his Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-nominated performance as Fagin in Oliver! He holds the distinction of having portrayed Merlin the wizard in two Disney films, Unidentified Flying Oddball and A Kid in King Arthur's Court.
Moody was born in Tottenham, north London, England, the son of Kate (née Ogus; 1898-1980) and Bernard/Barnett Moodnick (1896-1964), a studio executive. His father was a Russian Jew and his mother was a Lithuanian Jew; said Moody, "I'm 100% Jewish—totally kosher!" He was a cousin of director Laurence Moody and actress Clare Lawrence. His surname was legally changed to Moody in 1930.
Moody was educated at Southgate County School, which at the time was a state grammar school, and based in Palmers Green, Middlesex, followed by the London School of Economics in Central London, where he trained to become an economist. During World War II he enlisted in the Royal Air Force (RAF) and became a radar technician.
THE best Fagin in the history of Fagins, IMHO.
Nice song from musical movie "Oliver!" (1968). Ron Moody who acted as Fagin sang & danced very well. No surprise if at the year, he won Golden Globe as best actor (comedy/musical) for his role in this movie.

I sustain forever my gaze. A stare fixed on the distant
oblivion
Resting in the inverted state of being dead, non-sensory

As all the earth, the wind, the fire, the sea behold and
