Breaking and Entering: How the Cast of 'Transformers' Got Their Start Part 3

Megan Fox
Megan Fox was just 13 years old when she won awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head, South Carolina. She had been training in drama and dance in her native Rockwood, Tennessee since she was five. Megan made her acting debut in "Holiday in the Sun," a 2001 direct-to-DVD movie starring the Olsen twins. She also was an uncredited bikini-clad extra in "Bad Boys II," the first but not last time she found herself on a set with director Michael Bay. She tested out of high school at 17 and moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

She hadn't been in L.A. long before she got her first big movie role opposite Lindsay Lohan in "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen." Megan first auditioned for Michael Bay when he produced "The Amityville Horror." She didn't get the part then, but she made an impression, and when she came back two years later for "Transformers," he was won over.
