There's an interview that's doing the rounds atm where Ahmed Best talks about how he's often been hurt by a lot of the hatred that he's copped because of Jar Jar Binks. I get that a lot of people hate Jar Jar, but to hate Best because of it?!? That seems silly. It's not Best's fault that George Lucas wrote Jar Jar to be such a freakin' uselessly lame character in Episode I. And to be fair, Jar Jar was a better character in Episodes II and III, and even in the Clone Wars series as they realised that Jar Jar should just stop wasting screen time and actually contribute to the story.

It's sad to think that some fans have taken it so personally and decided to lash out against Best. He was only giving the performance that Lucas wanted from him. That's an actor's job. And Best makes a fair point in that he was one of the pioneers of motion tracked acting. But honestly, a lot of Transformers fans rightfully hate G1 Wheelie, but we don't hate Frank Welker because of it! Actors don't write scripts or direct films!
