Which actor plays Kelleran Beq in The Mandalorian?

Ahmed Best plays Kelleran Beq in The Mandalorian.

Best portrays the Jedi Master during the flashback showing Grogu’s rescue from the Jedi Temple in “Chapter 20: The Foundling.” Beq battles clone troopers, protects Grogu and helps him flee Coruscant during Order 66. The role gave Best a prominent live-action appearance in the Star Wars universe beyond his earlier work in the franchise.

Best is especially associated with Jar Jar Binks, whom he played in all three Star Wars prequel films: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. He also played a background character in Attack of the Clones. Kelleran Beq therefore created a notable connection between the prequel era and The Mandalorian.

Some quiz-takers may remember Best primarily as the host of Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge, where he played a different Jedi-related role. Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor portrayed Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, while Daniel Logan played young Boba Fett.
