Shia LeBeouf's most iconic and memorable role is Sam Witwicky in Michael Bay's Transformers Trilogy, Whether you like him in that film or not.
And like, He wasn't bad in them I supposed? It's just that there is not much thing that's really memorable about him nor his character, It's just a generic protagonist 101 that people didn't really cared that much about since they're there for the robots.
Recently I just watched Peanut Butter Falcon(Amazing film BTW, Everyone should watch it) and his performance in that film was phenomenon.
Then I also remembered his performances in films like Fury and Lawless, He was actually great in all of them.
It's just baffling to me that he has so many good performances under his belt, Yet his most iconic role that everyone known him for is "Sam Witwicky from Transformers" of all thing. That's just unfortunate.
