Ahmed Best originated the role of Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, becoming the first actor to lead a major studio film through motion-capture performance. After the character drew intense fan backlash, Best has spoken candidly and publicly about the toll that online harassment took on his mental health, using that experience to advocate for greater awareness around harassment, depression, and resilience in the digital age. He later returned to the Star Wars universe in The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian, and has continued a career in physical performance and theater, including his roots with the percussive dance company STOMP. He speaks on resilience in the face of public criticism, mental health in the entertainment industry, and reinvention after professional setbacks — a compelling voice for corporate wellness programs, media/entertainment panels, and film-industry keynotes.
