David Thewlis Interview: The Fagin Secret He Hid From The Artful Dodger Cast

In Hulu's The Artful Dodger, the titular character from Oliver Twist has grown up to become an accomplished surgeon named Jack Dawkins (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) who lives in Australia—far away from his tumultuous upbringing. But things go awry when a figure from his past turns up in Australia, and Jack finds him forced to play host and confidant to his erstwhile father figure Fagin (David Thewlis). Fagin presents Thewlis with a unique opportunity to toe the line of moral ambiguity, and lean into the fast-paced and often comedic undertones of the series. Together, Thewlis and Brodie-Sangster make for a dynamic duo as they grapple with their past and even more dangerous tedious present.

Speaking with Collider, Thewlis shared the secret that he kept from the rest of the cast about Fagin, his first introduction to Charles Dickens, the aspect of Fagin that stayed with him after they wrapped, and his hopes for what could happen with The Artful Dodger if it were to secure a second season.
