Ahmed Best is a headline actor known worldwide, and known for specific work rather than for being known. 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace' remains the anchor of the filmography, thanks to Jar Jar Binks. He also headlines 'Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith'. Fame came later than the first credit by a wide margin. Leading parts make up the visible half of the work; the rest is broader than most people notice.
