[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 486832, member: 7379"] Sadly the world has a lot of very stupid people in it who can't (or don't want to) distinguish between a character and the actor that plays them. I loath Jar Jar Binks as a character, but I have nothing but respect and sympathy for Ahmed Best. He played the character exactly as George Lucas wanted, and in that sense did an excellent job, but then received a load of grief and insults for his trouble! To hear that he contemplated suicide as a result is nothing short of outrageous and tragic. No-one should be made to feel like that for playing a character in a film, but morons and their keyboards rule, or at least often seem to 'shout' the loudest, and it takes an extremely thick-skinned person not to be affected by it :-( Thankfully, Ahmed seems to have come through his horrible experience and now has the strength to talk about it. More power to him, I say. [/QUOTE]
