‘Actor Jason of “Dune”‘ clue difficulty, answered

There are two issues with this clue: The first is that if you haven’t watched Dune, you might not know the actors, and secondly, because of how the clue is written, Jason could be the actor’s first or last name. So, this clue has a bit of a mystery to it, which makes solving it difficult. Thankfully, as a Dune fan, I knew who this was.

But, as I mentioned earlier, you might have been stuck solving today’s themed clue if you haven’t watched it or thought Jason was his last name. Because of this, this clue could be considered challenging, and I’d give it a three out of five in difficulty.
