A surprisingly interesting and fun interview with Ahmed Best (AKA Jar Jar Binks).

YouTube Description:
In Episode III of These Are The Actors You're Looking For'; Ahmed Best AKA Jar Jar Binks talks Michael Jackson, the backlash and why he would never return to the Star Wars franchise. He also performs his former co-star Liam Neeson's famous 'Taken' monologue, in the style of Jar Jar!
This is the story of one nerds quest to find the forgotten stars of Star Wars! I'm Jamie Stangroom, and as excited as I was when I saw the first cast photo for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Force Awakens, I couldn't help but think that there was something missing. Lots of something. Someones. I felt nostalgic joy seeing Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia, but what about Logrey the Ewok? Greedo? What about the Gonk droid?! So I decided to go and find them. I was prepared to go to the ends of the earth and maybe even Wales in my journey to find the actors the franchise forgot. JJ Abrams may have overlooked them, but I won't!
And now I invite you to join me in video form here on youtube. Each episode will see me track down an unsung hero of Star Wars, find out how the movie's success changed their lives, and see if they've still got what it takes by making an audition tape with them to show Disney what their missing out on!
Special thanks to Ahmed Best. Follow Ahmed on Twitter @ahmed Best
