The Team Meet Ronon Dex | Stargate Atlantis 

I would say playing Ronon Dex is part of his success.

@@AdeptKing Well sure, but it's not even close to playing Aquaman in a big Hollywood movie franchise. That's what I meant.

I like to call his presence on Stargate Atlantis ."Aquaman:the Lost years" when aliens abducted young Arthur Curry they transported him to another planet a game reserve blah blah blah

Mee too

Yeah...he's got charisma!

Uhm, you say that as if it's a bad thing to like Game of Thrones.

I think the first place I remember seeing about him was just a magazine cover but nonetheless, he seems very chill in interviews and I look forward to buying his new brand of water in aluminum cans.

only reason I started watching this show. Saw him in the commercials LOL Kinda cool that we knew back then...

Some may think of him as Kaldor Drago, others may think of him as Aquaman. But to me, he will always be Ronan Dex.

Before that, he was a lifeguard on Baywatch.

Ronon Dex is mt favorite Jason Momoa character!

And now he's Duncan Idaho

Dz 8 Let's hope as Duncan Idaho his acting is as good as Declan Harp and Philip Kopus

@[Redacted] Lieutenant Ford was.

@[Redacted] Rainbow Sun Frankcks aka Lieutenant Ford.

@[Redacted] Yup, as others said it was Ford. And replacing Ford with Ronon was one of the best ideas creators of all SG shows ever came up with. Initially inspired by other characters, also from other IPs - Teal'c, Spock and a few others. They have however managed to not do blunt copy and paste and to create completely distinct character that does not resemble any of it's predecessors too much (including Teal'c). In fact now, like 15 years later with new shows appearing this incarnation of alien amongst own people feels still fresh and good which is an achievement too really.

I liked Ford, but I really love Jason's Ronon Dex. He's the reason I became a fan of the show. I wish: 1) the series ran for at least one more season, 2) Jason had a bigger part in the series, 2) that they made a movie for the big screen after the series ended.

@@christinemusselman5499 yeah you can't have a guy named Ford running around with half human face and half human half alien bug eyes hanging out for eight seasons

Cal droggo vs White Walker

Joshua Graham Khal Drogo , you were nearly right.

In Soviet Russia, the Red October and Ronon hunt YOU!

You REALLY need to see the episodes. You can buy DVDs for all 5 seasons. Jason's in seasons 2 through 5. Worth every penny! And it's not just Jason. All the cast members have great chemistry with one another and the stories are good.

before stargate he was in baywatch

Some of those cast members were towards the end of their career/retiring after leading successful long-running tv shows, like Richard Dean Anderson (original MacGyver). Some led tv shows that lasted several years, like Amanda Tapping. Depending on your definition of "big," these two can call themselves "big" as well. Sometimes having a tv series pays more in the long run unless your movie deal is a big hit and you've got box office returns % which is usually not given to actors unless they are well established box office draw (cost more than budget allows so was given % to make up for it). This is why you see a lot of "big screen" actors moving to tv shows or tv movies.

The Wraith stopped feeding because it could sense Ronon was much stronger and more resilient than most people...so decided the was a "better use for him" and they made him a runner.

@@lanahartman1087 Yes, that's it exactly.

I think Ronon killed that wraith.

It's kinda implied they did for sport. Hunting dangerous game. The other runner played by Mike Dopud is also a badass warrior like Ronon.

They don't do it to kill him when implanting him. It is more for training and entertainment purposes. And after the procedure they do try to shoot him and feed on him, but aren't successful anymore up until this point.

You don't seem to know humor.

Ysgramornorris it’s Halo

Both if you are watching Aquaman.
