I hadn't seen Jason Momoa's Game of Thrones Audition before, but, luckily for me, the tape is currently trending like crazy.
Talk about a mic dropping audition. He GOES for it. He is terrifying and completely captivating.
Also, let's discuss wardrobe. This is more than Rose Byrn's suggestion of character. The man is wearing gauntlets, an open shirt, and a necklace with...are those teeth? I'm pretty sure those are teeth. However, he's not rocking all out animal skins and war paint. He gives us enough to see him as Khal Drogo. It takes no imagination to believe that he could lead the Dothraki, and yet we aren't taken out of his performance by any distracting costume choices.
Further, the tape ends with Momoa still in character. The last thing we see is not the actor, but Khal Drogo getting ready to maim a spoiled prince or eat a horse heart or something. He ends as he began, super strong and So. Good.
