Some of this came from the Official Holes site





�Shia LaBeouf - Los Angeles teenager Shia LaBeouf booked his own agent and auditions before he even turned 14. He started his acting career with television guest appearances (Freaks and Geeks) and made-for-TV movies (Breakfast With Einstein).

Several TV movies followed, including the Disney Channel comedies Hounded and The Stevens Get Even.

�Khleo Thomas - Whether it be in commercials, television, theatre, or his upcoming feature film release, KHLEO THOMAS (Zero) can be seen just about everywhere. And what sets him apart from the rest of young Hollywood is the praise he is getting from his veteran co-stars. �Holes� co-star Jon Voight says, �You are a great one. I�ll be watching you all the way.�

In addition to �Holes,� Thomas� big screen accomplishments also include �Reverend Do Wrong Ain�t Right,� �A Moment on Dorothy Dandridge,� and playing a bad boy in the recent holiday hit �Friday After Next.�

At the age of three, Khleo was already showing signs of talent with his uncanny impersonations of celebrities like Pat Sajak and Arsenio Hall. This led to his first commercial for McDonald�s and the beginning of a long career in the medium�and he�s only 14. Today, look for Khleo in commercials for Toaster Strudel, PlayStation 2: Backyard Games, and Addidas. He has also starred in Reebok, Pert Plus Shampoo, Disney�s Playskool Sweepstakes, United States Teachers Association, and Nuveen commercials. Khleo is also proud to say he�s perfected many of his impersonations and adds Chris Tucker, John Leguizamo, and Bill Cosby to his repertoire.

On the small screen, Khleo has appeared on shows such as NBC�s �City Guys,� CBS� �Family Law,� �Kids Say the Darndest Things� with Bill Cosby (which led to an �Oprah Winfrey Show� appearance at the age of 7), and �Wait Till You Have Kids.� He has also shined on the live stage in theatrical productions as Victor in �Danny & The Golden Millennium Seed,� as Ralphy in �The Desperate Hours,� and as Little Jimmy in �Call for Peace.�

Khleo often does his own stunts on set and is mean competition in any skateboarding park, flips, dips, and all. He can watch a music video or listen to a rap song, and mimic the talent just a few minutes later. He�s a fond collector of Japanese animation figures, building them from unassembled models, and can do something more impressive than all of the above�wiggle his ears. He lives in Los Angeles with what he calls �the perfect parents.�
