History Creator / JasonMomoa

Momoa's also been getting more into the indie flick scene, directing, writing, and sometimes costarring beside his wife, actress Lisa Bonet (who's been his CelebrityCrush since he was a kid), who played Denise Huxtable Kendall in ''Series/TheCosbyShow''. Bonet is also the mother of Creator/ZoeKravitz, making Momoa her stepfather. Momoa and Bonet also have a son and daughter together.

He's known for [[{{Typecasting}} playing a lot of warrior types]] such as Khal Drogo in ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Ronon Dex in ''Series/StargateAtlantis'', Film/{{Conan the Barbarian|2011}} and Baba Voss in ''Series/{{See}}''. He struggled to find significant roles for a while until he was chosen by Creator/ZackSnyder to play ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} in the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'', and his 2018 solo movie (the highest grossing of that franchise) as the character made him a bankable star.

* BarbarianHero: He played some characters who have a lot of barbarian grit to them, like Khal Drogo, Conan and Baba Voss. Aquaman has this vibe in the Creator/ZackSnyder-[=directed=] DCEU films he appears in, but less so in his solo movie.

* ''ComicStrip/LittleNemo''

* BadassBeard: Sports one for his best known roles such as Ronon Dex, Khal Drogo, Aquaman, Declan Harp and Baba Voss, and they all kick plenty of ass. As Duncan Idaho in ''Film/{{Dune|2021}}'' though, he starts off with it, then progressively shaves it off, to the point he's clean-shaven when the character's most badass moments (facing off Sardaukar soldiers) happen.

* DeathGlare: His stare can be pretty intense, which along with the BadassBeard helps a lot with some of the aforementioned BarbarianHero roles.
