Best originated the youth-skewing role of Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and went on to play the character in the film’s sequels, providing the voice and motion capture for the character.
However, Jar Jar Binks has been disliked by many, and Best was on the receiving end of some very aggressive backlash over it.
He later reprised the role in the popular animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Superfan Simon Pegg quite publicly disliked Jar Jar, though he said he regrets hating on the character.
