A guide to recognizing your saints s. him playing himself. Film actors who really have long careers should be able to create and sustain a variety of characters. He has a tiny range. Hes had it too good and like it should gravity will bring him way back down. Theres talent out there. This isnt that. Believe me he lucked out. He won the lottery and didnt earn his keep. Its not karma but its certainly reality setting in

Become a millionaire by making garbage, then discover your integrity and swear off making garbage, living like a hog in the fathouse for the rest of your days. It's not like he's making a sacrifice here, guys.

Theres only one problem – HE CANT ACT! hes not an actor. hes in the marketing machine. hes not a philip seymour hoffman whose talent will always keep him in demand. shia only has foreign value getting him work. hes in that dangerous position where once he loses his foreign value he will no longer help finance an indy and he will never get rave reviews from the critics so indys are a gamble for him. Eat it up while you can you talent free talking head

I disagree Harry. It takes skill to pull off any measure of comedy and SL has done it. Taking the "Indy" road (no pun intended) is what Jolie and so many other great A list character actors have done. Those performers who will only acheive mediocre acting skills are the ones who stay in the studio system and get paid too much to act in forgettable films. It is a career that you can retire on, but it will be short and much like the films they'll appear in, "forgettable".
LaBeouf is doing the thespian training he should at his age. He has the cash to work for scale and his name boosts small budgets so that challenging, memorable films will see the light of day.

IMHO, it's a very smart move for a career actor…

If you don't think Shia can act, go watch "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints." He was great in that, and that was before Transformers/Indy 4, if I'm not mistaken. He's got great potential, and he's always been great in my opinion.

I've never really thought too much of Shia as a talent, but I do respect his choice here. Best of luck to him.

In few years, Shia is going to be the actor that every director, actor and actresses will want to work with. I kinda know where he is going. I admire him even more now.

Sigh…Let the guy do what he wants. We give too much power and pressure to these human beings. We fawn and criticize them for everything they do. and we think we know better. If he doesn't want to do studio films, good for him. And to be clear, there's also nothing wrong with wanting to do studio films. He's a young 20 something in Hollywood and he wants to be challenged. Like anyone in a creative discipline, what we want to create changes with our experiences. Every actor has different challenges, sets different goals for themselves, etc… Can't we just hope for the best for him. Just like you would want the best for you. Everyone is so quick to shit another person.

Thank you indiewire for this article and good luck to Shia.

I'm excited for his future roles. This is the Shia I've been waiting for. Hope he does well. If not, well at least he would have done some interesting films in the meantime.

I hope he's done with films period. One of the most overhyped, untalented schumcks to come on the scene in a loooong time.
The sooner he retires the better.

What is up with all these sexual voyeur movies? Actors truly are whores. I can not respect these people, who can? How can they ever have children and expect them to respect their parent? Just absurd. SADB
