This movie had a script about as thick as your average Best Buy ad how the hell can anyone say that it was remotely about the acting. However, she really not bite the hand that fed her because I'm sure before she landed her role in Transformers she was just another pretty face in Hollywood out scraping for whatever bit part she could land.

Chig Champa you are so right, I was looking up a ton of stuff and most of these were famous before he ever met them.

@ Cinema Dr. AJ: Have you ever seen Six Degrees of Seperation? "Will Smith was crap on the big screen until bad boys". I'll warn you. It doesn't have explosions or cheesy lines in it so it might not be your cuppa.

There's arrogance, and then there's Bay. Fox is no smart cookie, but she's honest enough to say what everybody knows than stick to the usual fluff of how "great" everybody was, or how she "learned a lot from everybody on set."

I've never once seen an interview where Bay hasn't claimed he's "discovered" or "found" an actor. He even said similar things about Scarlett Johansson in The Island's commentary track, and how he could make anybody an action star.

Nicholas Cage was a star after Raising Arizona and Moonstruck. Will Smith's biggest movies were Independence Day and MIB. Ben Affleck made famous for Chasing Amy and Good Will Hunting looooong before Bay "discovered" him.

Bay is an egomaniac. If he thinks he's a starmaker, what's his excuse for The Island and Pearl Harbor?

theres no way Bay can think its a movie about acting unless he's a retard, its a movie for explosions and cool robots accept it

I thought Will Smith was popular before Bad Boys? Did Bay for get the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air??

Hahaha, now he's claiming to have made all these people movie stars?

Smith had his own wildly popular TV show, added to the fact that he didn't really hit it big with Bad Boys, he had to wait another year for Independence Day.

Lawrence also had his own TV show, and he never became anything more than a somewhat enjoyable B movie actor.
Unless Bay is attempting to vicariously take credit for the cinematic Holocausts of Big Momma's House 1&2... all the more reason to hate him...

Nicolas Cage was very well known before being cast in The Rock. In fact he had just won an Oscar for his work the year before in Leaving Las Vegas.
I recall seeing an awards show in which Michael Bay told Nic Cage "Hey, I made you a movie star!"
A statement at which Cage rolled his eyes so hard it was a wonder the wind didn't knock Bay on his ass.

Ben Affleck also became a household name well before appearing in Armageddon, thanks to winning an Oscar for his work with Matt Damon on Good Will Hunting.

And regardless of how hard Hollywood has been shoving him down our throats, Shia LaDouche will never be a big actor.
In fact I've spoken with several people who specifically avoid any film he's in.

It should also be noted that for every film mentioned aside from Transformers, all the casting decisions were most likely made by none other than the Douchebag Producer Supreme himself, Jerry Bruckheimer.
