<P> When I read that Khal Drogo role, I was blown away . I couldn't believe it was happening, I had to have that role . I was like, "Nobody is going to take that role from me ." (...) People say it's easy (to play the role)--"You're just sitting there!" But it's extremely hard to be extremely intimidating, and say everything but not say anything . </P> <P> Momoa received positive reviews for his portrayal of the character, and contributed his own ideas to his portrayal . For example, in one scene, Drogo cements his position as the lead khal by ripping out the tongue of a dissenter, Mago . The scene was not in the script, but was suggested by Momoa after he made the observation that Drogo, who is said to be a great warrior, had never been shown demonstrating his prowess as a warrior onscreen . </P> <P> Remarking on the character's early exit: </P> <P> I was reading it and I was like: "Holy s--t! F--k, I'm dead!" (...) It's amazing what (George R.R. Martin) sets up . Here's your lead characters, you're supposed to think about them one way, and you hate them, then you love them, and then they're killed and it's a whirlwind of emotion . All the little kids and even the smallest of characters just grow and grow and grow . He built a beautiful world . I'm bummed I'm not going back . To play Khal Drogo was phenomenal and I wished there was more stuff he could have done, I'm going to miss that character . </P>
