Shia LaBeouf
Brawn factor, on a barbell scale of one to five
***
Resume
Star of the Disney Channel series "Even Stevens," performed sketch comedy on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," appeared in tween fare "Holes" and "The Greatest Game Ever Played" and in the edgier "I, Robot" and "Constantine." Upcoming films include "Transformers," "Surf's Up" and the fourth "Indiana Jones." In April, LaBeouf, 20, was named ShoWest's male star of tomorrow.
Spiritual forefather
Tom Hanks. Genuinely funny.
The scoop
At this moment, LaBeouf is the only break-out star of the new generation, someone who in the wake of "Disturbia" can actually get movies greenlighted on the basis of his own mojo.
