Game of Thrones is no doubt one of the most successful TV shows of the past decade.

The fantasy drama series, which sky-rocketed the careers of Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, and Sophie Turner, generated $2.2 billion (yes, billion) in profits for HBO.

But for actor Jason Momoa, who had a short stint on the show as Khal Drogo, it wasn't quite as successful.

"I’m like, 'I’m going to stalk you for the rest of my life and I’m going to get you.' I am a full-fledged stalker. I didn’t tell her that until we had two babies — otherwise, I’d be creepy and weird. I’ve always wanted to meet her. She was a queen, always."
