Shia LaBeouf turns 27 today!

Born in Los Angeles, CA, Shia Saide LaBeouf did stand-up comedy at the age of 10, before landed a role in Even Stevens, that earned him a Daytime Emmy Award.

In the next few years, LaBeouf was critically acclaimed in her appearances in Holes, Constantine, and portraying Francis Ouimet in biopic The Greatest Game ever Played.

Those roles, however, were not LaBeouf's groundbreaking roles - his first thriller, Disturbia, was released in 2008. He garnered few awards for his performance here, for instance, Teen Choice Award, and a nomination for MTV Movie Awards.

His other movie credits were Transformers and sequels, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and Eagle Eye.

Other than acting, LaBeouf is also known as a director.

He directed music video for his favorite rapper Cage, entitled "I Never Knew You", and Kid Cudi's "MANIAC."
