Shia LaBeouf's big break came in 1999 when he debuted as Louis Stevens in Disney's "Even Stevens" TV series. The Disney Channel show, in which he played a scheming but lovable younger brother, ran from 1999 to 2003 and earned him a Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding performer in a children's series.
