If you can't get enough of Jason Momoa, I recommend watching his eight-part documentary series entitled On the Roam He travels the United States in search of artists and other talents who have perfected their craft Momoa features men and women who are forging their own paths through their passions, from craftsmen to motorcycle builders, musicians to athletes
In addition to appearing in the series, Momoa also serves as executive producer along with Brian Andrew Mendoza They have teamed up on countless projects, including "The Crime" and "Sweet Girl," and this series is sure to be another rewarding shoot There is no doubt that people will be inspired by this series, especially when they see it spotlighting people who have taken an off-the-beaten path, as Momoa did For those looking for inspiration, this is the perfect show for the New Year
