I did a google search and i was unable to find anything suggesting that he openly disliked playing Jango Fett or the Clones.
I'm going to go ahead and remove it as I was also unable to find anything.
Can we get rid of the "aversions"? The trope is an actor being annoyed that they get more recognition for their money-spinning blockbuster roles; aversions are either Money, Dear Boy, Awesome, Dear Boy, or simply actors being pragmatic about the way their chosen career works.
When you add in the subjectivity of what makes a "serious" film, "Actor X enjoyed working on Film Y, and that was really dumb" is just not worth saying.
The trope is a type of actor-as-character. Non-actors are non-example.
- Non-actor variant: A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepherd both grew to detest Winnie The Pooh because it overshadowed the work they felt they should have been recognized for; Milne was a novelist and playwright, while Shepherd did political cartoons. In Shepherd's case, if political cartooning was really what he was most proud of, I'd say he had a serious case of crappy priorities.
- Non-actor variant: The only reason Stan Lee shortened his name from Lieber is because he always hoped to write the great American novel and didn't want to put his name on comics. Of course,since then his opinions have changed quite a bit
This is probably not an example. The G-Man is apparently not a classically trained actor stuck in work which is beneath him but a regular actor stuck in a minor role who wants more work, more money and a bigger role.
- Concerned invokes the trope for comedy: the G-Man is sick to death of cameos in this comic

Does this bit about Temuera Morrison have any evidence?
"Far more disgruntled was Temuera Morrison, who seldom misses an opportunity to explain how beneath him it was to play Jango Fett."
This is the first time I'm hearing of this. Every interview and such that you can find shows him to be quite pleased and excited to continue playing the character in various spinoffs.
