Jason Momoa has made a career of playing characters like Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones and the ocean-bound superhero Aquaman. Now, he's playing a different kind of action hero in his own Chief of War, in which he takes on the role of Ka'iana, one of the chief warriors of his people, as he attempts to unite Hawai'i to resist encroaching colonists.
