Wikipedia mentions "Nils Olaf Chrisander in the 1916 German silent version by Ernst Matray, Das Gespenst im Opernhaus or Das Phantom der Oper..."
More commonly known is Lon Chaney, in the black and white silent version, made in 1925.
As for Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, it was Michael Crawford in the Orginal 1986 London Cast.
An actor named Mike Crawford. I only know this as there was a grocer locally who had the same name and was no relation, more recently he was a courthouse security guard. (The Grocer, not the actor!)
Lon Chaney, Sr., the "man of a thousand faces," poignantly portrayed the title character of the Paris Opera House in The Phantom of the Opera (1925) in his signature role. The unveiling of the phantom's face, when Christine (Mary Philbin) rips off his mask - was (and still is) a startling sequence.
