Ahmed Best is the multi-talented artist who provided the voice and real world reference for the computer generated character, Jar Jar Binks. Best is incredible at physical comedy, having honed his body as part of the lively musical theater group Stomp and by having studied a variety of martial arts.

He has done commercial and some television work, though Jar Jar was his first big screen character. Aside from acting and voice-work, Best lays down phat hip hop lyrics, plays a mean set of drums and served as the host of ep II on location on the World Wide Web.

Ahmed Best has performed in a number of productions, for a variety of venues.
