Shia LaBeouf, the star of last summer's hit film Transformers, didn't enjoy a privileged childhood like many other child actors. Growing up in an impoverished Los Angeles neighborhood, Shia acted in order to earn money. His first acting experiences were performing as a clown with his parents to sell hot dogs. He never imagined acting would earn him the opportunity to star with Harrison Ford in the upcoming indiana Jones movie.

Shia comes from five generations of performers. Among his grandparents are a comedian and a poet. His mother danced ballet until an injury forced her to stop. Shia's father worked as a clown, but he also battled drug addictions. Unfortunately, his parents divorces when Shia was in elementary shcool.

Shia began acting to help earn money for his mother, whom he lived with after the divorce. At age10, he got a job as a comedian, and, at 13, he won a starring role in a Disney television series. It was the 2003 movie Holes, however, that played the most important role in Shia's early career.
