Jason Momoa doesn’t get to play many ordinary guys. He’s Aquaman. He’s Khal Drogo. He’s Conan the Barbarian. It’s part of the reason why he wanted to be in “Sweet Girl,” a new action drama that’s now available on Netflix. In the film he’s an ordinary Pittsburgh father named Ray Cooper who vows to get revenge against a pharmaceutical company he blames for his wife’s death. As a father himself, it was a natural fit, and he got to hand pick the actress who’d play his daughter: “Instant Family’s” Isabela Merced. Momoa and Merced spoke to the AP about the film and forming a father-daughter bond on screen and off.
