Another Baywatch Actor

Today, Jason Momoa is mainly known for his role on Game of Thrones and Aquaman. Surprisingly, his career almost came to a halt before it started because of being a lifeguard on Baywatch Hawaii.

Momoa remembers his start as an actor being crazy due to being a college-aged kid who got to run around shirtless and hang out with beautiful women. He admits the role nearly cost him his newfound career because casting directors labeled him as solely a hunky lifeguard.

When the show ended, Momoa used all the money he earned from the show to rock climb and also travel the world. Lucky for his fans, he returned from his time away and picked up where he left off.
