Dune Part One, an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel Dune, has been out for three years now, so you might easily forget who was in it. Or worse, you haven’t seen the film at all and are really stuck.
"Actor Jason from 'Dune'" is the clue from the August 13 NYT Mini Crossword puzzle. If you don't know who this is, don't worry: I have the clues and the answer below.
The answer to the clue "Actor Jason from 'Dune'" is "MOMOA". Jason Momoa is a famous actor known for his roles as the titular Aquaman in Aquaman, Dante in Fast X, Duncan Idaho in Dune, and Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones.
There are two problems with this clue: First, if you haven’t seen Dune, you may not know the actors, and second, because of the way the clue is written, Jason could be either the actor’s first or last name. So this clue is a bit of a mystery, which makes solving it tricky. Luckily, as a Dune fan, I knew who this was.
