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.

you forgot Spartan…where he was also killed by a gun.
"whats the deal with cromm, my main man?"
Not bad casting. On another note, I mentioned this last night and PLEASE fix the verification for commenting. It's taking me 8-10 attempts on average for a post.
Traitor, Lost Gi Joe…The Hate
You also forgot his torture scene in Three Kings, hooking Marky mark up to a car battery.
You know he was killed by a shotgun in Lost
Definitely recommend checking him out in La Haine/Hate – great cast, also starring Vincent Cassel. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113247/
He's also got a brief cameo in Green Zone…love this guy.
wasn't Tagmaoui also the torturer Cpt.Said in Three Kings ?
He was also great as Said in "La Haine"
