The gangster Bugsy in the movie Bugsy starring Warren Beatty had the last name Siegel. He was a Jew.

Bugsy Malone was a movie from 1976 about a child gangster played by Scott Baio. They would "shoot" cream pies at each other instead of bullets. It was loosely based on the gangster Bugs Moran.

So, where did the name come from?
