Shia Labeouf is without a doubt one of the most talented actors in the world right now. Able to deliver both comic and dramatic performances.
From his early roles in Even Stevens and Holes he should great acting ability which no doubt contributed to where he is today. I actually first saw him in an episode of ER in 2000 when he was only 14 and even then he able to deliver an awesome performance as a young boy knowing he could not be cured of his condition. The moment i first saw him in this role i knew there was something special about him.
With roles in Disturbia, Eagle Eye, Bobby, Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the Crystal skull and Transformers he is definitley one of the most in demand actors in the world and in my opinion its obvious why, sheer talent.

one of the best up and coming A-list actors of this generation. can mix original comedy, drama, action, and fun to create some of the best movies. simply a natural in the showbiz

Think that Shia is a talented and marvellous actor that can really seem to do it all. He can do comedy like Even Stephens and Saturday Night Live. As well as do drama like Disturbia and other dramatic movies. Also he does action films like the Transoformer films and the recent Indiana Jones movie. He has the looks and the talent to be the next generation's Leonardo DiCaprio. Despite having a few off-screen issues. Involving his drinking and the recent car accident, for which he got out alive and despite a few broken bones. Just needs to not work on his acting but work on his off-screen issues. That could doom him in.

..yes sometimes, like in the Holes commentary he was a little obnoxious. But he was a teenager in there and all teenagers can be obnoxious. I liked his Holes performance. I really enjoy that movie. Especially two of the actors in there. Really cute. (Max and Khleo) Apparently Shia didn't shower for three days on the Even Stevens movie but thats not bad. You can smell fine for that long. I shower every day though. I like Shia in Disturbia, Holes, Indiana Jones and his Saturday Night Live performances. I like Shia but yes sometimes he can be annoying. I hope to still see him in more films.
