The 8 Actors That Played Boba Fett

The 8 Actors That Played Boba Fett

Boba Fett is one of those Star Wars characters who feels like a single, iconic person… even though he’s actually been built by a whole lineup of performers. Throughout the saga, we only see one Boba Fett on screen—but did you know eight different actors have played him in some form, whether that’s in the armor, behind the voice, or doing the stunt work?

Here are 8 actors who have played Boba Fett across Star Wars.

1. Jeremy Bulloch

Jeremy Bulloch is the reason Boba Fett feels like Boba Fett in the Original Trilogy. He’s the one physically in the armor for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, which means every little choice—how Fett turns his head, how he stands, how still he is—comes from Bulloch’s performance. 

 Even though Boba barely speaks in those films, the character’s presence is built on body language. And as a fun behind-the-scenes bonus, Bulloch also appears in Empire as an Imperial officer (Lieutenant Sheckil) in a separate scene—so he technically plays two roles in the same movie. 

2. Jason Wingreen

If Bulloch is the body, Jason Wingreen is the voice that originally made Boba sound like a weary, confident pro. Wingreen provided Boba Fett’s original voice in The Empire Strikes Back—the version a lot of older fans grew up quoting.

Later, when Lucasfilm wanted Boba to match the prequel-era clone voice, those same lines were re-recorded (more on that below), but Wingreen is still the voice tied to Boba’s first big-screen identity. 

3. Temuera Morrison

Temuera Morrison is the guy who “connects the dots” between Boba Fett and the clone army. After playing Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones, he was brought in to re-dub Boba’s lines for the 2004 DVD release of The Empire Strikes Back, replacing Wingreen to make the voice match the clone template. 

Then years later, Morrison becomes Boba in the flesh: he plays the older, scarred bounty hunter in The Mandalorian and carries the character fully in The Book of Boba Fett. 

In other words, he’s both the “retroactive voice fix” and the modern face of Boba Fett. 

4. Daniel Logan

Before Morrison’s older Boba, the saga needed a younger one—and that’s Daniel Logan. Logan plays young Boba Fett in Attack of the Clones, which is where we first see Boba as a kid learning violence, revenge, and survival under Jango’s shadow. He also returns as the voice of young Boba in The Clone Wars, which helps bridge that “quiet kid” into the teen bounty hunter we eventually meet.

5. Don Francks

This one surprises people: Boba Fett’s first-ever appearance isn’t in Empire—it’s the animated segment from the 1978 Holiday Special. That version of Boba is voiced by Don Francks (and he later voices Boba again in the Droids animated series).

So if you want to get nerdy with it, Francks is the voice that introduced Boba Fett to the world before the helmet became iconic in theaters. 

6. John Morton

Boba Fett looks like one guy on screen, but Empire already had moments where the production needed a different body in the suit. John Morton is credited as a stand-in/alternate Boba for a Cloud City hallway moment outside Han Solo’s torture chamber, stepping in when Bulloch wasn’t available.

It’s a perfect example of how masked characters work: the audience sees “Boba,” but behind the camera, the armor can be a relay baton between performers.

7. Dickey Beer

By Return of the Jedi, Boba’s biggest “physical” sequence is the sail barge / skiff fight near the Sarlacc, and that’s where stunt performers come in. Dickey Beer is one of the people who did Boba Fett stunt work for those scenes, including stunts tied to the skiff/Sarlacc action filmed near Yuma, Arizona. 

If you’re picturing the rough falls, awkward hits, and dangerous beats in the desert heat—this is the kind of work Beer was brought in for

8. Glenn Randall Jr.

Another major Boba stunt name for Return of the Jedi is Glenn Randall Jr. He’s also linked to the Yuma, Arizona Sarlacc-unit filming and is widely associated with Boba stunt work on the sail barge/skiff material. 

The key thing with ROTJ is that Boba wasn’t just “one stuntman”—multiple people handled different shots and setups. Randall Jr. is one of the central names that comes up when you track down who’s actually inside the armor for those action beats.
