There he speaks in detail about the filming experience both for <em>Conan<\/em> and <em>Game of Thrones, <\/em>noting he hates horses, loves playing the &#8220;bad good guy&#8221;, and won&#8217;t mind if Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn&#8217;t like his portrayal of Conan. He credits his four years on <em>Stargate Atlantis<\/em> with preparing him to play Conan and Drogo, even though the roles are very different:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>How did working on <em>Game Of Thrones<\/em> compare to <em>Stargate<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, there were no horses and I got to wear clothes, for one thing. [laughs] I loved <em>Stargate<\/em>.  I had such a great time and it was such a great training ground. It set  me up to play the lead of a movie, you know, so it&#8217;s really a  phenomenon for four years to be with a family and experiment.<\/p>\n<p>You do a movie, you meet everyone, you go from place to place. It&#8217;s  like joining a circus. Being on a show for four years, you know  everyone. You know the grips. You feel safe and comfortable. You can  play with your character a lot. It evolves over a long period of time.  It was a great training ground that set me up for Drogo and <em>Conan<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And also, being in that sci-fi fantasy genre, there&#8217;s no limitations  to what you can do. If I&#8217;m sick or drugged out, I can play it like  heroin times ten, or crack times 20. You can go to places that aren&#8217;t  realistic, and that&#8217;s fun.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worked out that I&#8217;m in these genres and I don&#8217;t mind it. It&#8217;s fun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/television\/836822\/jason_momoa_interview_game_of_thrones_playing_conan_and_more.html\">DenOfGeek<\/a> to read the entire interview!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jason Momoa continues to get lots of press thanks to his leading role in the upcoming Conan the Barbarian film remake, and for playing Khal Drogo in HBO&#8217;s upcoming Game of Thrones.
