Whenever I see Temuera Morrison, the first thing that pops in my head is the Kiwi film Once Were Warriors.
In that movie he was quite terrifying, had this unpredictable violence to go along with a hair-trigger temper, and truly I felt he was capable of anything. Perhaps its cause I saw it at a pretty young age (man, The Showcase Revue was something else) but it's left a real impact on me. It's the same thing, but different emotions, when i see another star of that film in anything, Cliff Curtis: I file whatever role he's portraying under 'monster' instantly
Anyway, I think that feeling really, really plays well into The Book of Boba. Even if the show has family friendly Disney entertainment painted all over it, Temuera Morrison brings the savagery and darkness
