He was good enough in Eagle Eye. I don't have much of a problem with him. There are plenty of actors that are far worse than him.

I liked Disturbia...and both Transformers movies....thought he was entertaining and fit the roles well.

:hmm:

Perhaps. But he still sucks at acting and probably dicks to get the roles that he gets.

What about his acting sucks? I liked him very much in both Holes and The Greatest Game Ever Played. If you judge his acting from two of the most horrendous and horrendously written films of all time, then you are a fool. In fact, I think Transformers would have sucked more with some other actor.

At any rate, I think he has been a fine actor, and will continue to be one as he becomes an adult.

i thought he was great in disturbia. i think he does fine...he knows what kind of roles he's good at and sticks to those. wish more actors would do that.

I like him. I remember first seeing him in Even Stevens, which I thought was a great show all around, and he did a great job in that. He was also quite good in Battle of Shaker Heights.

He plays one character: A wise cracking smart ass little bitch that is thin on the wise and smart. Annoys the shit out of me. Even when he's in a "serious" role he can't help hamming it up with stupid bullshit. No idea why he gets attached to some many huge blockbusters.

I may not have disliked him before transformers, i can't really remember how i felt. but one thing's for sure, anyone or anything associated with the Bay transformer movies is on my shit list now. if i ever go out on my own time, that movie will be on the suicide note ;-)

I was thinking about being an actor but then you realize how much you would have suck (something) and god awful roles you would initially be casted in to become anything special.

Remember Johnny Depp in 21 Jump Street and Cry Baby?

Not a fan of him, but to be honest, he really hasn't had any decent roles, or even been in any decent films.....

If he does a film where actual acting is required, and it's a decent film, that's when I'll make my judgement. Until them, I'll just be a skeptic....

I find it amusing how people can become so irritated/irate based on the actions of someone they've never met, and likely never will.

If only I had the spare time to care so deeply about such things.
