Man charged in attack on ‘Stargate Atlantis’ actor Jason Momoa
12:06 PM, November 21, 2008A 21-year old man who allegedly attacked and injured an actor from the television series “Stargate Atlantis” was charged today with assault with a deadly weapon.
The L.A. County district attorney’s office said Venice resident Dominic Bando argued with actor Jason Momoa on Nov. 15 at a cafe on Franklin Avenue in Hollywood. Bando allegedly struck Momoa in the face with a pint beer glass, which shattered in the actor’s face, said Deputy Dist. Atty. Victoria Pasternack. Momoa needed 140 stitches during reconstructive surgery.
Bando is scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 10, and was released on $30,000 bail. He already was on probation for a March conviction for carrying a loaded firearm, the D.A.’s office said. Momoa, who also appeared in three seasons of “Baywatch,” plays character Ronon Dex on “Stargate Atlantis.”

ETA: Producer and writer Joseph Mallozzi posted this note in his weblog to reassure everyone about Momoa’s condition: “To the many fans out there concerned about Jason Momoa, I spoke to the big guy this afternoon and he’s doing fine. He’s on the mend, in usual high spirits, and looking forward to eventually coming down to Vancouver and kicking some alien ass. I let him know you were all worried about him and he greatly appreciates the thoughts and well-wishes.”
The idiot who hit Jason with a beer mug is one of many A– —-‘S who when they get intoxicated think they can kick the worlds A–.
