from Winter is Coming@blogspot: Jason Momoa as Drogo!
It looks like Jason Momoa may have been cast as Drogo. Supposedly the actor himself announced it at Armageddon Expo in Melbourne, Australia. Here is a report from someone who was at the convention.
“He just got the call the other day and he said it hadn’t been announced. He’ll be filming in Morocco and doesn’t like horses, so isn’t looking forward to the horseback scenes. He also said that it’ll be his first nude scene and first sex scene.

Great stuff today. I love Michael Shanks, and I really hope he wears the beak, you have no idea. And I think Jason Mamoa (who was on Stargate: Atlantis) is perfect for Drogo. That’s not how I pictured him when I read the book, but when I saw the article I thought “Huh, that’s interesting. I can see that”.
What do you think of the casting choices? Who would you have picked?
