Shia Labeouf was born in Los Angeles on June 11, 1986, as an only child to his parents Jerry Labeouf and Shayna Saide, his name given to him after his comedian grandfather. Shia began his interest in comedy at an early age, and began preforming stand-up routines around his neighborhood at local coffee shops. After seeing one of his friends play a part in the movie "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" (1993), he decided he'd like to try acting. After talking it over with his mom Shayna, she agreed and began to help her son look for an agent. Not too long after, he was able to head up to the agency and do one of his stand-up routines, which got him signed up with an agent afterwards. He soon began playing little roles in movies, but didn't land anything big for a while.

He finally got a chance to really put his acting skills to the test in 2000, when he auditioned for the part of Louis Stevens in the Disney original series "Even Stevens" (2000). The show turned out to be a hit, and even came out with it's own movie, "The Even Stevens Movie" (2003). But despite it's popularity, the show was cancled after only 3 short years, ending in 2003. During the years of "Even Stevens", Shia was able to play in another small Disney movie on the side, "Tru Confessions" (2002), which gave Disney lovers a chance to see Shia play a more dramatic role.

In 2003 a slew of movies featuring Shia were released, not including "The Even Stevens Movie". He played parts in "Charlies Angels: Full Throttle" (2003), "Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry met Lloyd" (2003), "The Battle of Shaker Heights" (2003), and his biggest movie that year, based on the award winning book written by Louis Sachar, "Holes" (2003). The movie featured Shia playing the starring role of Stanley Yelnats - a young boy with unfortunate bad luck, who gets shipped off to a detention camp after being wrongly accused of stealing a pair of famous shoes. The movie really put Shia out there in the spot light, allowing more than just Disney lovers to see how talented he was.

After 2003 Shia landed a couple other movie roles, one of which allowed him to work a little bit with famous actor Will Smith in the movie "I, Robot" (2004). He also starred in both "Constantine" (2005), and "The Greatest Game Ever Played" (2005), which also scored some pretty decent ratings. At the moment Shia is scheduled to play in a few more movies yet to come, which include "A Guide to Recognize Your Saints" (2006), and "Bobby" (2006). He's also scheduled to do some voice acting for the movie "Surf's Up" (2007).

So far Shia has been able to make a pretty decent name for himself, starring in a few movies as well as a hit television series. Still only being in his teens, his career as an actor has just begun, and you can be sure to see Shia on the big screens, or just on your TV, for many more times yet to come.

Shia LaBeouf Quotes

Shia LaBeouf: I'm a pretty regular dude. I come from a different type of family. At the end of the day, I'm always going to be grounded. I'm not a star in their eyes, I'm still their son, and they love me. I have a good set of friends that I've had since before I was in this industry. I have a pretty cemented foundation to build all of this on.

Shia LaBeouf: I got to grow up in a situation where drugs were demonic. To watch your dad go through heroine withdrawals is something that would stray you from doing any of that. It started with him smoking cigarettes and weed and it all led into that. He also grew up in a different time. Hollywood was a different time and the world was a different time where they'd literally line up coke lines at the craft service table for grips. He didn't come back [into my life] until 'Even Stevens' happened. He needed a job and I needed a parent in my life, so this was his occupation. 'Hey, dad, come be a dad again, here's $800 a week.' That's how we started and created a rapport. You're with somebody for three years every day, I had never had an everyday dad like that. The money kept him around and after that came this relationship. But for the first year I can imagine he was there for an occupation, but after that we created the relationship. This business has been more about giving me the roles and the people I meet, but it gave me stability in my family.

Shia LaBeouf: Would I want to win an Oscar before I'm 40? Maybe. Would I want to win one before I'm 25? No.

Shia LaBeouf: I'm a lonely dude. But, again, it's the price. You subject yourself to weird [stuff], just so you can feel something. To be an actor, a true actor, you have to be brokenhearted.

Shia LaBeouf: I'm not a star, I'm an actor.

Shia LaBeouf: The choices have been interesting, and I think the fact that I'm not a star, I'm not a celebrity, I've kind of been under the radar, has kept it easier for me to maintain a career.

Shia LaBeouf: I could do something like sell out and make a Disney album — The Hanukkah Shia LaBeouf Special, or The Kwanzaa CD — and make a lot of money, and have a huge house and a big bed and never be able to sleep in it, because I'd hate myself. It's just what you want. Respect is more important to me than the finance of it, even though I did Transformers. You do something like that so you can do a Half Nelson and people in Japan will see it. There's a Tom Hanks element that I'm after, but with Michael Caine's longevity. If you can mix Hilary Duff and Gary Oldman into the same actor, that's my goal. I know it's strange to think about, but that's the goal.

Shia LaBeouf: Disney is great, it's been great to me and many other actors, it's a great place to cultivate your skills. But it can be debilitating because it's very one-notey, it doesn't stray, its goal is to create children-friendly entertainment. And a lot of 20-year-olds don't live children-friendly lives. So I didn't wanna just stay in that thing.

Shayna LaBeouf: Shia's Shia. Shia's himself. So whoever he's gonna be, he's gonna be.

D.J. Caruso: The gift of having to direct someone like Shia is that everything he does has to be real, so if a dialogue thing sounds bullshitty, he'll be the first person to say, 'God, that's bullshit, that doesn't work.' He polices himself and also I gave him the freedom to make it work.
