Hero Complex at the LA Times had an interview with Michael Bay talking about actor Ramon Rodriguez, who played Shia LaBeouf's sidekick Leo Spitz in this summer's blockbuster hit "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." The article mentions that "if it plays out as he [Michael Bay] expects, the next installment would have a more substantial role for Rodriguez."
"I've worked with big stars, people like Will Smith, Sean Connery and Bruce Willis, but casting is a weird thing, it takes you places you don’t expect," Bay said. "We went looking for a sidekick in this movie, Shia’s sidekick, and we find this new kid who really pops on screen. I think he’s going to have a real bright career. It’s great to work with big stars, but it’s always fun to discover people."
I have yet to see "Transformers 2" because I am waiting for all the hype to die down, but I have heard this character is about as lovable as Jaden Smith in "The Day the Earth Stood Still" remake.
Looking forward to more Spitz in "Transformers 3?"
More news to come! Catch ya' later!

Ugh, no thank you. Jaden Smith is pushing it, but he still was pretty damn annoying in the movie.
I just saw the movie. I thought the character was annoying and checked in with my girlfriend who pretty much always loves everything in all movies.
She thought the character was annoying as well as the Twins.
What exactly did he do again that helped everyone out? He found John Turturro and pretended to sh*t his pants. Hmm...
