Temuera Morrison

Actor and Voice of Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones and Boba Fett in "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett"

Maori actor Temuera Morrison's award winning performance in the film Once Were Warriors opened doors to several Hollywood roles. He is excited to join the cast of Episode II as a bounty hunter. "I have admired Temuera since first seeing him in Once Were Warriors," said Robin Gurland [Episode II Casting Director]. "When George was creating this role I spoke to him about Tem and he also thought Temuera would be a wonderful addition to the cast."

Live-Action

Temuera returned to play Boba Fett in the second season of the Disney+ series, The Mandalorian. Previously, he played Boba Fett's father, Jango Fett. In the prequels, they established that Boba Fett is an unaltered clone of Jango, so it's presumed that his adult self would look like his father, so why not use the same actor.

"There were moments when I put the armor on and I was looking at [executive producers] Dave [Filoni] and Jon [Favreau], and the expression on their faces just said it all. It felt good. It felt right. It felt like, 'Yes, I should be wearing this costume.' And it gave me this sense of, 'I'm back.'" – StarWars.com Interview (December 9, 2020)

Voice-overs

Morrison's voice replaced Jason Wingreen's original Boba Fett lines

Morrison was hired to re-voice all of Boba Fett's original lines in 2004 for the Star Wars DVD version, unrelated to the Special Editions.

Morrison's voice is heard in several video games as Jango Fett, clones, and even Boba Fett

Battlefront II (2017) *, Battlefront (2015) *, Empire at War, Battlefront II (2005), and Bounty Hunter (2002). (* Not confirmed on his resume, which lists all the others ... hmm.)

What about Kinect Star Wars? No, that was Dee Bradley Baker.
