Dunno if I spelled it right.  



He is doing an awesome job acting.  I have enjoyed every movie I have seen him in, but he needs to be getting more major roles and stop being a sidekick to big name actors.

He needs to change his name to something, anything that doesn't sound like he is the pivot man at a San Francisco bathhouse.

He should change his name to Jack Lightning.

???

His last two movies prior to Indiana Jones were Transformers and Disturbia and he was lead in both of those movies. As far as taking the "sidekick" role here, it was a career move as it is is Indiana Jones a movie that will end up making over $500 million worldwide. Between this and Transformers and Transformers 2 coming out next year, his marketability as a big name actor is through the roof. Which translates into $$$$$$$.

That being said I do really like him as an actor.

He's a realy good actor. Steven Spielberg said he is the next Tom Hanks. His new movie Eagle Eye looks very entertaining.

The correct spelling of his name is:Shia LaBeouf

Tom Hanks isn't an especially good actor, but he's likable and has this genuine ordinary-type guy vibe he can express on camera.  Shia La Bouef will never have that on account of his name alone.  I don't know where this push to make him a star comes from other than his parents must be buddies with Hollywood elite.

I like him quite a bit too; but I've decided my idea is a good one, and I will now call him Ron Burgundy. Anytime you see me refer to "Ron Burgundy", I'm talking about Shia Lepoofter. Unless I'm talking about "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" that is.

He's one of very few child actors to keep his career going into adulthood.

Hopefully he wont go off the deep end and die young like so many other promising young actors.

well, megan fox straddled him a few times in Transformers, so he gets mad respect for that, at least. Disturbia was okay too.

I'd have to agree.  The dude can't act and doesn't have an ounce of personality ETA: let's just say, I'm not impressed.  Just because he got on some show as a kid, did a remake of Rear Window and super disappointing Transformers (no story or acting, just special effects) doesn't make him a star.

Now he's in another big-budget Hollywood suck-fest and we're supposed to admire all this?  Sorry, no thanks.


ETA: He did an "ok" job in Disturbia, in my opinion, but the guy is no super-star.

The only reason he's going places now is because Spielberg likes him. Look at how long it's taken Hillary Duff to break out from the Disney mold. I remember when he was on Even Stevens... so if I where him, I wouldn't be complaining! With all the ex-Disney people out there, he's probably the most successful, with Hillary Duff in second.

Neither of them are making Miley Cyrus money. Nor will they ever. Strangely, both are much more talented than Cyrus. Go figure.

he should pull in some big money for Transformers 2, unless he is already contracted for a sequel under his contract for the first Transformers..

He kind of got skunked being paid $500,000 for Transformers when Tyrese got $8Million for his role in the film.

He wasn't that big of a name when he was cast for Transformers. After the success of the first one plus Indy and Eagle Eye which looks like it's going to be good he will probably be looking at 10-12 million for Transformers 2. He has a contract for three Transformers movies but the salaries are rarely set in stone.

To me he's a dumb ass and gets PAID for it.

I saw Transformers with my son. First thing I'm thinking when I see him, and all during the movie is an over-achieving drama queen dumb ass.

Then when I see him in the Indiana movie with Harrison Ford, I'm thinking over-achieving drama queen dumb ass again.

I like getting into a movie when I go see one and he just turns me off with his acting drama antics.

Sorry, but I don't see him in the light some others place him in.

Just my opinion.

Exactly.

All hype, and I'm not buying it.  It's difficult enough to get past the name, but even making allowances for that, I think he is a no-talent.

I don't know who the hell this kid is.  Don't care too much, as his resume reads as though he's been riding coattails in 15yo sequels and remakes of cartoons.
