Joseph Jason Namakaeha Momoa (/məˈmoʊə/; born August 1, 1979[1]) is an American actor. He made his acting debut as Jason Ioane on the syndicated action drama series Baywatch: Hawaii (1999–2001), which was followed by portrayals of Ronon Dex on the Syfy science fiction series Stargate Atlantis (2005–2009), and Khal Drogo in the first two seasons of the HBO fantasy drama series Game of Thrones (2011–2012). He went on to play the lead roles in the Discovery Channel historical drama series Frontier (2016–2018) and the Apple TV+ science fiction series See (2019–2022).
Momoa during the filming of Stargate Atlantis in 2006
At 19 years old, while living and working in Honolulu, Momoa decided to audition for the television series Baywatch Hawaii,[1][10] in which he was cast as Jason Ioane (1999–2001).[11] He was in the main cast on the 2004–2005 Fox drama North Shore as Frankie.
In 2004 Momoa appeared in the film Johnson Family Vacation. From 2005 to 2009, Momoa appeared as Ronon in Stargate Atlantis, for which he learned martial arts.[12]
In 2009 he was cast as Roman in four episodes of the comedy-drama television series The Game (2009). He portrayed the title protagonist in Conan the Barbarian (2011), a reimagining of the 1982 film of the same name and a role made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Momoa gained notoriety for his role of Khal Drogo on HBO's Game of Thrones. In his audition for the role, he performed a Haka,[13] one of many intimidating Māori dances traditionally used to convey a challenge to an opponent, or a welcome to a visitor.[14]
In August 2014, Momoa portrayed Connor in the Canadian horror action film Wolves,[29] and starred in the Sci-fi horror movie Debug; it was written and directed by Momoa's former Stargate Atlantis co-star, British-born Canadian actor David Hewlett. In February 2015, it was announced that he would portray a cannibal[30] in the drama thriller film The Bad Batch.[31] In 2015, Momoa was cast in the Canadian action film Braven, which was released on February 2, 2018.
In March 2017, it was announced that Momoa would play Rico Rodriguez in the official Just Cause film series.[32][33]
Between 2016 and 2018, Momoa portrayed Declan Harp in all three seasons of the Canadian historical drama television series Frontier and was an executive producer on the show. The series chronicles the North American fur trade in late 1700s Canada, and follows Declan Harp, a part-Irish, part-Cree outlaw who is campaigning to breach the Hudson's Bay Company's monopoly on the fur trade in Canada, which has become corrupt and engages in illegal activities to enrich itself.[34][35]
Momoa met his first fiancée, actress Simmone Jade Mackinnon, on the set of Baywatch in 1999. They were together for six years and became engaged in 2004. Mackinnon and Momoa called off their engagement after Momoa began a relationship with actress Lisa Bonet in 2005.[41][42]
Although it was previously believed that Momoa and Bonet had married on November 15, 2007, the couple did not marry until October 2017.[43] Daughter Lola Iolani was born in July 2007,[44][42] and son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha[44] was born in December 2008.[45] In January 2022, Momoa and Bonet announced their split.[46] In January 2024, Bonet filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences and listing their date of separation as October 7, 2020.[47][48]
He is a fan of heavy metal music[49] and has noted that he "build[s] [his] characters off of metal songs".[50] He invited members of Archspire for cameo appearances in the first episode of the TV series See, and he also practiced proper screaming technique with the vocalist of Archspire, Oli Peters, for a significant scene in the series.[51][52] On October 30, 2020, Momoa was featured in the song "Doom" by black metal band Scour.[53] Momoa is a hobby musician and plays bass guitar, mandolin, ukulele[54] and guitar[55] in his spare time, the first of which he took up after listening to Tool's song "Sober".[56]
Momoa has numerous tattoos, including a half sleeve on his left forearm, a tribute to his family god, or aumakua.[57]
On November 15, 2008, Momoa was slashed across the face with a broken beer glass during an altercation at the Birds Cafe, a tavern in Los Angeles, California.[62][63] He received approximately 140 stitches during reconstructive surgery and the scar through his left eyebrow is apparent in his later work.[62] The assailant was sentenced to five years in prison for the attack.[63]
