History Creator / JasonMomoa

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: He's head and shoulders above his real wife Lisa Bonet, and thanks to his massive size, most of his acting partners end up looking small next to him.

* TypeCasting: And Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad! When he's in a supporting role, they all seem to become {{Ensemble Darkhorse}}s. And his portrayal of Conan was appreciated by fans of the original books and comics for at least capturing the character better, though his film didn't displace Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger's in pop culture.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'' (2011) as Khal Drogo

* TheBigGuy: He's 6’4” and hugely muscular. Most roles he plays tend to draw attention to his size.

* OldShame: He has said that he should have "never done" ''[[Film/ConanTheBarbarian2011 Conan the Barbarian]]'' and considers the role his biggest regret.

* TallDarkAndHandsome: Definitely.

** ''Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom'' (2022)

** He was offered the role of [[Comicbook/DraxTheDestroyer Drax the Destroyer]] in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' before Creator/DaveBautista was cast, but turned it down due to fears of being [[Main/{{Typecasting}} typecast]] in brutish action roles.

* ''[[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious Fast & Furious X]]'' (2023) as Dante

His first acting role was for the final two seasons of ''[[Series/{{Baywatch}}]]'', ''Baywatch: Hawaii'', where he was cast for the show because one of the producers spotted him working in a surf shop. 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 [[Film/Aquaman2018 his 2018 solo movie]] (the highest grossing of that franchise) as the character made him a bankable star.

* MrFanservice: Several of his known roles showed his fabulous abs. [[http://www.eonline.com/news/627469/zack-snyder-shares-first-picture-of-jason-momoa-in-his-aquaman-costume-there-is-only-one-true-king His role as Aquaman]] seems to be ''extremely'' popular with the ladies.

* ''[[ComicStrip/LittleNemo Slumberland]]'' (2022) as Flip

* ''Series/{{See}}'' (2019-) as Baba Voss

* AmbiguouslyBrown: He's of Native Hawaiian, German, Irish, and Native American descent. He only ever played a Hawaiian in ''Baywatch: Hawaii'' and his most famous roles since have been as a HumanAlien (Ronon), fictional-race human (Conan, Drogo) and half-human, half-fictional race (Aquaman, who is half-Atlantean, half-American, with his father being played by Māori actor Creator/TemueraMorrison so at least he got to be part-Polynesian).

* ''Series/{{Frontier}}'' (2016 -- onward) as Declan Harp

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}}''.

** Despite ''Film/{{Conan the Barbarian|2011}}'' underperforming, ''Series/GameOfThrones'' did more than enough to blow his name up, though he struggled financially for a while afterwards. Eventually, playing Aquaman gave his career a decisive popularity boost.

* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Playing Aquaman in a SharedUniverse with Batman has given Jason a case of this. Aquaman's mother is played by Creator/NicoleKidman, whose StarMakingRole was playing [[Film/BatmanForever one of Batman's love interests]]. Jason's married to the mother of Creator/ZoeKravitz, who plays Batman's most well-known love interest [[Film/TheBatman2022 Selina Kyle aka Catwoman]].
