There are some actors who appeared in the Star Wars movies that were simply in them for too brief a time and haven’t been a whole lot else for us to see them in.
One actor from the prequels I’ve been dying to see more of in film is Temuera Morrison, the Maori actor who played Jango Fett. He was incredibly talented, and even the most ardent of prequel haters will cop to him being a highlight.
It was reported yesterday in The Hollywood Reporter that Morrison has been cast as Abin Sur, the ill-fated Green Lantern who crash landed on Earth to his death and in his dying breaths gave Hal Jordan the power ring that would transform him into a Green Lantern.
This bodes well for the film and I’m excited to see his part in it.
According to the Reporter, the film starts shooting today.
