Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss for HBO. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels, the first of which is A Game of Thrones.
Jason Momoa is an American actor, model, producer, and director. Momoa rose to fame with his long-running roles in the television series Baywatch Hawaii and Stargate: Atlantis. His performance as Khal Drogo in the TV series Game of Thrones further increased his popularity and took his career to the next level, drawing the attention of producers and mainstream audiences. He also played Aquaman in DC film of the same name in 2018.
Background
Ethnicity:
Jason Momoa’s father is from a Native Hawaiian family. Jason’s mother is of mostly German descent, and is from Norwalk, Iowa, where Jason was raised. Jason’s mother is also said to have Irish and Native American ancestry. Her own maternal grandfather was adopted, and it is not clear what his biological ancestry was.
Jason Momoa was born on August 1, 1979, in Honolulu, Hawaii, the United States, to Coni (Lemke), a photographer, and Joseph Momoa, a painter. Jason was raised in Norwalk, Iowa, by his mother.
Education
Jason Momoa attended school in Hawaii and learned acting in theatre in school. Later, he graduated from Norwalk High School in Iowa. Jason initially studied marine biology and later switched to wildlife biology in his bachelor’s level and graduated from Colorado State University.
In 1998, Momoa was discovered by a pair of talent agents who suggested that he put his rugged build and unforgettable face to work as a model. After a stint in the modeling industry, which included winning Hawaii’s Model of the Year in 1999, Momoa turned to acting, appearing in the TV series Baywatch Hawaii.
He beat out 1,000 other actors for the role of Jason Ioane, a part that he played for a couple of seasons. The show ended in 2001, and Momoa spent some time traveling the world, notably visiting Tibet, where he discovered Buddhism.
Momoa eventually moved to Los Angeles to further pursue an acting career. The first roles he landed, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (2003) and Tempted (2003), both TV movies, kept his face on the screen until his next series gig, North Shore, came along in 2004. North Shore ran for 20 episodes, but when it ended something even better was waiting for Momoa: Stargate: Atlantis.
Playing Ronan Dex on the popular sci-fi series, Momoa appeared in several seasons, reaching the next stage of stardom along the way. Also during this period, Momoa was involved in an altercation in a Los Angeles bar, in which another patron smashed a glass across the 6’5”, 225-lb. actor’s face, resulting in 140 stitches and a scar above his left eye. The scar would become something of a signature afterward, and it played well into Momoa’s next role, which would take his career to the next level.
In 2011, Momoa appeared as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones, the popular fantasy series based on the novels by George R. R. Martin. The barbaric Drogo would become a fan-favorite. Although Momoa would only appear in several seasons of the show’s eight-year run, his character would remain one of the most popular.
Growing up, Momoa was a big fan of the Conan the Barbarian stories, and he also got to star as the title character in the Hollywood big-screen reboot, released a few months after Game of Thrones. Four weeks after being cast as the popular Robert E. Howard character, Momoa began shooting in Bulgaria. His approach, like that of the filmmakers, was to pull from the eight decades of comics and stories as well as the Frank Frazetta images rather than the hugely popular 1982 movie.
Jason has a production company, Pride of Gypsies, in which he is expanding his career from actor to filmmaker. He has directed a couple of short films and is working on his feature film debut Road to Paloma (2014), which is pulled from a series of stories that he's been developing over the years, which he calls the Brown Bag Diaries: Ridin' the Blinds in B Minor (2010).
Momoa went on to appear in Bullet to the Head (2012), before earning prominent roles in the action thrillers Once Upon a Time in Venice (2017), The Bad Batch (2017) and Braven (2018).
On the small screen, Momoa in 2016 embarked on his starring role in Frontier, an adventure drama about the North American fur trade in the 18th century.
After the announcement that he was joining the big screen superhero fraternity in the role of Aquaman, Momoa debuted as the sea-based do-gooder with a brief appearance in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. He featured more prominently in 2017's Justice League, alongside fellow DC Comics headliners Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.
However, it was his standalone Aquaman feature, released in late 2018, that officially propelled Momoa to movie stardom. Headlining a cast that included Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, and Amber Heard, Momoa showcased his formidable physical prowess and quick wit for the impressively rendered underwater adventure, which topped $1 billion at the box office worldwide. He is set to reprise his role as Aquaman in the as-yet-untitled sequel film, which is due to hit theaters in 2022.
Next up for the action hero, along with the continuation of the Aquaman franchise, is a starring role in Apple's sci-fi series See. In February 2019, Momoa was cast as Duncan Idaho in the upcoming Denis Villeneuve film Dune.

Religion
Momoa visited Tibet when he was younger in order to study Buddhist teachings. He has since become a Buddhist, meditating daily.
Politics
Jason Momoa tends to stay outside of the political world as he hasn’t shared any of his political views and opinions lately.
Views
Momoa admitted that he really wanted to be a marine biologist before gradually shifting his focus to wildlife biology. Years later, Momoa’s love for animals and the ocean would remain stronger than ever, and he routinely speaks out in support of conservation causes and ways to help keep the ocean clean.
In 2019 Momoa announced that he was teaming with the Ball Corporation to launch a new line of canned water. Revealing the news by way of a video announcement in which he shaved his trademark beard, the actor stressed the importance of switching from plastic bottled water to recyclable aluminum cans.
"We got to get rid of these plastic water bottles," he said. "Aquaman's trying to do the best he can. For your kids, for my kids, for the world. Clean up the oceans, clean up the land."
Quotations:
"I love life and if there's something that I'm playing that I love, I'll research it."
"I think a man needs to be a man. To hold a woman the way she wants to be held. Just do whatever your woman wants, and you'll be fine."
"When I’m acting, I wish I was out there, being a part of it and making it. It’s all on your name to do that. It’s your vision. You’re going to get slandered for your work, and I like that."
"Some people we know in our lives come up to a crossroads, and they could go left or right, and then end up in a totally different place."
"You know what’s it’s changed is my appreciation for the art form of making cinema. I want to be a part of the whole collection and pull all of the pieces together. That’s what I love about directing."
Personality
Jason Momoa likes using downtime on set to learn new skills. During filming for Stargate Atlantis he learned slide guitar, and he recently began working on bass so that he could jam with his Aquaman co-star Patrick Wilson, who plays drums.
Momoa is proudly Hawaiian, and the fact that he is the first Hawaiian superhero on screen isn’t lost on him. Momoa realizes most Hawaiian mythological gods are water gods so he views it as a dream job to get to bring Aquaman to life.
One of Momoa’s main past times is pastel painting, which he picked up while traveling through Paris. Momoa credits his mom for his interest in painting and traveling since her role as a photographer made her someone who was “always searching, always seeing.”
Physical Characteristics:
Momoa has a white mark on his left eyebrow, where scar tissue now prevents any hair from growing back. Momoa got the scar in 2008 when a man hit him with a pint glass, and he would end up getting 140 stitches. Momoa suspected the attack was part of a gang initiation for the man who assaulted him. Momoa puts a positive spin on the incident, saying it helped him to get more tough-guy roles.
The versatile actor has a height of 6 feet 4 inches(193.04cm), and a weight of 106 kilograms (235lbs). He has green eyes and light brown hair.
He has multiple tattoos. The most notable tattoo is a half-sleeve on his left forearm, which is a tribute to his family god, or “aumakua,” from Hawaiian mythology. A family god is an ancestor who died and returned from the dead. The sleeve tattoo features nine rows of triangles that represent shark teeth since his family’s guardian is a shark. Other tattoos include his children’s initials on his chest and the words “to always be drunk” in French on his forearm.
