Babs Olusanmokun as Jamis
Jamis was a Fremen warrior of Sietch Tabr. In a crucial scene, he challenges Paul’s place among the Fremen, and the two fight to the death. Paul slays Jamis is hand-to-hand combat, and is thereafter welcome among Stilgar’s Sietch Tabr.
Olusanmokun actually looks like a hardened desert warrior, and with his long list of credits, I have no doubt he can bring the intensity needed to the part of Jamis, not to mention the physicality for an exciting action scene.
