Temuera Derek Morrison MNZM (born 1961) is a New Zealand actor who first gained recognition in his home country for playing Dr. Hone Ropata on the soap opera Shortland Street.

He garnered critical acclaim for starring as Jake "The Muss" Heke in the 1994 film Once Were Warriors and its 1999 sequel What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?.

In the 1996 Queen's Birthday Honours, Morrison was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to drama.

It consists of covers of songs that his father, and uncle Sir Howard Morrison, had performed at local venues when he was growing up.

[8] Morrison became widely known outside of New Zealand with his role as bounty hunter Jango Fett in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.

[11] Morrison's Fett has heavy scars on his face, and wears dark robes before reclaiming and restoring his armor.

Morrison says that with the physically worn appearance, he adjusted his voice to be more gravelly, as if Boba's vocal cords were affected by his past traumas.

In an interview with The New York Times, he said that he "wanted to bring that kind of spirit and energy, which we call wairua, [to the role]"[11] and used that influence in his on-screen fight scenes, both in the hand-to-hand combat and while wielding weapons.

Morrison returned to Shortland Street for six weeks in June and July 2008 to reprise the role of Dr. Hone Ropata.

In 2008, he appeared on New Zealand skit comedy television show Pulp Sport, in a sketch that made fun of him being cloned.

He has an adult son from a relationship in the late-1980s with singer Kim Willoughby from the all-girl group When the Cat's Away; and a daughter with Peata Melbourne.
