Growing up in a tight-knit family surrounded by siblings and a musician father, Temuera quickly picked up various performing arts, including Kapa haka.

Additionally, some of his other early roles include Maru in ‘Adventurer,’ Jake Heke in ‘Once Were Warriors,’ Tim in ‘Little White Lies,’ and Juliano in ‘Speed 2: Cruise Control.’ In 2002, Temuera entered the ‘Star Wars’ universe as he landed the role of Jango Fett in ‘Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.’
Since then, Temuera has gone on to essay Jango Fett, his clones, and his son Boba Fett in numerous other ‘Star Wars’ productions, including his appearance as Boba Fett in the TV show ‘The Book of Boba Fett.’ His brilliant performances as the bounty hunters, as well as his roles in other productions like ‘Aquaman’ and ‘Occupation: Rainfall,’ significantly increased his fanbase and their curiosity in his life.

In 1997 Temuera began dating famous New Zealand actress Angela Dotchin, best known for her performance as Kristy Knight in ‘Shortland Street.’ The two built up a beautiful relationship for several years, and their future together seemed quite promising. However, by 2002, the couple decided it would be best to break up, and Dotchin even moved to England, where she became a personal assistant in the fashion industry.
