MCM London Comic Con is this weekend and as thousands of fans prepare to head to Docklands and the huge ExCeL center, news arrives that the legend that is Boba Fett himself Temuera Morrison will be joining The Mandalorian stars Emily Swallow, Brendan Wayne and Tait Fletcher at the show, and onstage for The Mandalorian panel at 1.00pm on Sunday 26th. If you’ve never seen Tem onstage at a show then get ready as it can get rowdy.
Temuera Morrison is a New Zealand actor. After training in drama under the New Zealand Special Performing Arts Training Scheme, one of his earliest starring roles was in the 1988 film Never Say Die, opposite Lisa Eilbacher.
In 1996, Morrison played opposite Marlon Brando in The Island Of Dr. Moreau. He has appeared in supporting roles in Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997) and The Beautiful Country (2004). In 1988 he got to show some comic flair in the James Bond parody Never Say Die. In 2005, Morrison became the host of the talk show The Tem Show on New Zealand television.
He released his debut album, Tem, through Sony Music Entertainment NZ in late November 2014. The album consists of covers of songs that his father, and uncle Sir Howard Morrison, used to perform at local venues when he was growing up.
Morrison has gained attention for his role as the bounty hunter Jango Fett in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002). Part of the film’s plot involves an army of clones created with Jango’s DNA; Morrison also provided the voice acting for the clones. He reappeared as a number of clones in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and re- recorded the lines of the character Boba Fett (Jango’s “son”) and another clone in the 2004 DVD re-releases of the original Star Wars trilogy, replacing the voice of Jason Wingreen.
Most recently, Temuera starred in the Disney series, The Book of Boba Fett as the title character, reprised his role in The Mandalorian, and was featured in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Fantha Tracks are there over the weekend, along with many of the costuming groups you love to see, so look out for us (we’re recording a live episode of Making Tracks over the weekend) and hopefully we’ll see you there.
