A celebrated voice actor, Ahmed Best provided motion capture and the voice of Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars prequels. The experience was not a pleasant one for Best, who became victim of a racist backlash that left him reeling; in fact, Best has admitted he became suicidal. He has remained involved with Star Wars, however, with Lucasfilm hiring him to play Jedi Master Kelleran Beq - a skilled lightsaber combatant who trained Padawans - for the children's game show Star Wars: Jedi Challenge.
