I saw Shia in 'I, Robot' (2002) yesterday on TV and he was an outspoken member of the crowd who were trying to stop the bad robots from taking over the city. That could have helped him to get his part in 'Transformers' (2007).

I don't think he's that great of an actor just yet, I mean, he has only just made the leap from child star to adult actor in a relatively short amount of time, but I did enjoy him in Constantine, and I will admit it was sad when his character died in that film.

As far as what I said in the beginning of my post, I don't mean he's terrible, I just feel that he needs some more time before everyone starts calling him a "most sought after" star. (But he hasn't disappointed yet, so maybe he does deserve this award.)
