It’s somewhat unusual that the pending Conan film is staffing up by recruiting from various military organizations.  The star, Jason Momoa, is from the Satedan armed forces on Stargate: Atlantis; the villain, Stephen Lang, is fresh from trying to exterminate the Na’vi; and now, Said Taghmaoui has just transferred over from G.I. Joe.  Taghmaoui was Breaker in that particular film.  In Conan, he’s playing a leader of thieves who is saved by Conan
(Jason Momoa) and later offers him aid.  Lang is a ruler in search
of a queen whose blood will bring life to the demonic minions of a
long-lost god.

You might also recognize Taghmaoui from Season 5 of Lost.  He played Caesar, who had an unfortunate disagreement with a shotgun, if memory serves.  Taghmaoui has also appeared in Traitor, opposite Don Cheadle and The Kite Runner.  He next has the Stranded, for directors Hugues and Sandra Martin upcoming later this year.


Give your life for Conan if he lets you ride with him on the message boards.
