Born Shia Saide LaBeouf on June 11， 1986， in Los Angeles， CA， LaBeouf was raised by his performer parents in the working class neighborhood of Echo Park. The stage gene was clearly passed from parents to son at birth， as LaBeouf began performing stand-up at local clubs while still in grade school all in a means of assisting his cash-strapped family. The acting bug bit harder when LaBeouf saw a friend on an episode of the family series， Dr. Quinn， Medicine Woman (CBS， 1993-1998) a pivotal moment which strengthened his resolve to pursue acting as a means of satisfying both his need to financially help his family and his desire to perform.

希安·拉博夫的全名是希安·薩德·拉博夫，1986年6月11日出生于美國洛杉磯回音公園地區，父母從事表演行業，家庭出身屬工人階級。一半由于與生俱來的表演天賦，一半也是為了賺錢，希安在上小學時便開始在當地的咖啡廳、酒吧之類的地方參加暖場喜劇表演。此后當看到一位朋友在Dr. Quinn， Medicine Woman(CBS， 1993-1998)上出鏡時，希安·拉博夫堅定了做演員的決心，這樣他也可以幫助解決家用還能滿足他的表演欲望。

According to LaBeouf， he landed an agent by simply picking one from the Yellow Pages， pretending to be an adult while raving about an up-and-coming young talent named Shia LaBeouf. The ruse clearly worked， as he was signed by the agency at the age of 12， and began making the rounds on network programs like The X-Files (Fox， 1993-2002) and Freaks and Geeks (NBC， 1999-2000). In 2003， he landed the role of Louis Stevens， the manic， nerdy counterpoint to perfect older sister Ren on Even Stevens. The series was a success with younger viewers and earned LaBeouf excellent notices， as well as a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in a Children's Series for the shows final season in 2003.

據說接下來的故事是：他直接拿起電話簿找到一位經紀人的號碼，給對方打去電話并裝作是大人一樣推銷自己，結果他的表現得到了賞識，對方在希安20歲的時候簽下了他。正式的工作開始于網絡節目The X-Files (Fox， 1993-2002) and Freaks and Geeks (NBC， 1999-2000)等等，2003年他加盟迪士尼制作精良的搞笑劇集Even Stevens，扮演“每個家庭都有那么一個”的淘氣鬼Louis Stevens一角，和他乖巧的姐姐形成鮮明對比。該劇在年輕人中很受歡迎，結果希安·拉博夫憑借2003年最后一季的出色表演獲得日間艾美獎，作為童星迎來了演藝生涯的第一次高潮。

2005 saw LaBeouf back in the Disney fold for the historical drama The Greatest Game Ever Played， in which he played a real-life golf prodigy. Few theatregoers saw his subdued performance， but it did help solidify the notion that LaBeouf could carry a film. That same year， LaBeouf made another canny career move that helped entrench him in Hollywoods mind， following a small role in the Will Smith big-budget sci-fi film， I， Robot.

2005年，希安·拉博夫回到了迪斯尼，在《那些最偉大的比賽》中飾演以真人為原型的高爾夫天才弗朗西斯，盡管票房成績并不理想，但是更多人注意到不到20歲的希安已經開始獨自支撐一部影片。同年出演的威爾·史密斯領銜的科幻巨制《我，機器人》，可謂希安邁進好萊塢大片制作人視野的第一步。

Following these movies， LaBeouf divided his time between major studio productions and smaller， independent projects. He played the wisecracking chauffeur to Keanu Reeves supernatural detective in Constantine， then lent his voice to the English-language dub of Nausica? of the Valley of the Wind (2005)， an anime feature popular with devotees of the genre. He also made his directorial debut alongside Lorenzo Eduardo that year with the experimental short， Lets Love Hate， which addressed racial intolerance. The film netted several awards at regional festivals.

此后他游走在大片和獨立成本小片之間，漫畫改編的超自然英雄片《地獄神探》中，希安·拉博夫飾演基努·李維斯的司機和助手，并為動畫片《風之谷的娜烏西卡》(2005)配音。此外私下里，希安·拉博夫常和朋友一起動手搗鼓拍電影，這一年他和Lorenzo Eduardo攜手執導了首部作品Let's Love Hate，這部關注狹隘種族主義的試驗短片還為他們贏回了一些地區性電影獎項。

In 2006， LaBeouf starred in Bobby， which chronicled the lives of various Robert Kennedy supports at the Ambassador Hotel on the night of his 1968 assassination. As part of the A-list cast， LaBeouf shared a Screen Actors Guild nomination with the sizable all-star lineup. Although they did not win that award， LaBeouf would go on to win the Special Jury Prize with his cast mates for A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)， a gritty true-life drama about growing up in 1980s New York. Though neither film was a box-office success， they further bolstered LaBeoufs profile as a young actor with mature skills and interests.

2006年，在《博比》中，當在1968年大使賓館發生刺殺總統事件時，希安·拉博夫飾演的正是當晚肯尼迪的年輕支持者。作為一級演員中的一員，希安·拉博夫也獲得了眾多明星加盟的銀屏演員協會提名。雖然他們沒得到此獎項，但希安·拉博夫參加了《圣徒指南》(2006)的演出，該劇描述的是80年代出生于紐約皇后區的年輕人的真實生活，憑借它希安和其他合作演員一起獲得2006年圣丹斯電影節的特別評審大獎。盡管這些影片都不曾在票房上有大作為，但是希安·拉博夫已經在不知不覺中度過一段危險時期：對于一位童星出道的演員來說，當你不再是一副人見人愛的童稚外表，唯一的選擇也許就是更快地長大。

For 2007， LaBeouf remained strictly on the Hollywood side of the movie fence. He took the lead in Disturbia， a youth-oriented thriller inspired by Rear Window (1954)， and voiced a hot-dogging penguin that surfed in the animated feature Surfs Up. LaBeouf also signed on as one of the few human performers in Michael Bays summer offering， Transformers.

也許談起2007年夏天，人們回憶起好萊塢奉獻的大片狂潮。他主演了《后窗驚魂》——翻拍自希區柯克經典的后現代青春版《后窗》，此外動畫片《沖浪企鵝》中，希安·拉博夫為愛顯擺的沖浪小企鵝考迪配音， 拉博夫也簽約邁克爾·貝執導的《變形金剛電影版》，出演最重要的人類角色之一。
