SHIA LaBEOUF’s (Stanley Yelnats) natural talent and raw energy are quickly earning him a reputation as one of the most promising young actors in Hollywood. Including “Holes,” LaBeouf will impress audiences in three major motion pictures in 2003.
On June 13th, LaBeouf will star in New Line Cinema’s prequel to the 1994 blockbuster hit, “Dumb and Dumber,” which originally starred Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. “When Harry Met Lloyd: Dumb and Dumberer” follows the adolescent versions of title characters, Harry and Lloyd, as they meet and try to survive high school. Shia plays Lewis, the high school’s mascot and a student in Harry and Lloyd’s Special Ed class.
Also in June, LaBeouf will appear opposite Bernie Mac, who plays the new Bosley, in “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle,” the follow-up to Sony Pictures’ smash hit “Charlie’s Angels.” Shia’s character, Max, falls under the protection of the Angels, played by original stars Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu. The movie will be released by Sony Pictures on June 27th.
LaBeouf is currently filming the lead role in the Miramax/HBO Project Greenlight production “The Battle of Shaker Heights.” Matt Damon and Ben Affleck serve as executive producers on the project.
LaBeouf recently earned a Daytime Emmy nomination for the 2002-2003 Awards for his role as Louis Stevens on the Disney Channel’s highest rated original series, “Even Stevens.” LaBeouf has also appeared in telefilms such as “Breakfast With Einstein” and “Hounded.” In 2002, he portrayed a mentally challenged boy in “True Confessions.” The New York Times’ review of the telefilm stated that Shia gives “a remarkable performance” and that he “does a more convincing job of portraying someone with a developmental disability than various big-name adults have managed.”
LaBeouf attended the Magnet School of Performing Arts at USC and currently resides in California with his family.
