You know what? This Tennessee native had a five year acting résumé under her belt before the whole world caught on with Transformers, appearing in everything from CBS sitcoms to Olsen Twins capers.
THE NAUGHTY DAUGHTER
Hope & Faith, 2004, “Escape from Albuquerque”
• Faith is woken up by her sister Hope in the middle of the night to discover that her daughter (Megan Fox) has gotten her tongue pierced. This is the first episode of Hope & Faith on which Megan Fox played daughter Sydney, replacing Nicole Paggi after the first season. Unlike Aunt Viv on The Fresh Prince, this is a casting switch we can co-sign.
THE TEENAGE TEMPTRESS
Two & A Half Men, 2004, “Camel Filters and Pheromones”
• Charlie and Alan’s maid brings her 16-year-old grand daughter (played by Megan Fox) to work one day and—surprise!—she’s hot. The two men try their best to avoid interacting with the jailbait, but things become more difficult when she asks Alan to help her apply some lotion.
THE DANCE DANCE REVOLUTIONARY
Confessions of A Teenage Drama Queen, 2004
• Fox vs. Lohan: Dance off. DDR-off, actually. They’re arguing about a party with some singer they’re both obsessed with, but this scene is clearly all about the choreography. Body language, people. Both actresses should be commended for their ability to dance and talk catty bullshit to each other at the same time.
THE ANGRY EX
What I Like About You, 2003, “Like A Virgin (Kinda)”
• Holly (Amanda Bynes) is surprised to learn that her boyfriend is not a virgin, and that he secretly had sex with a girl from Summer Camp (played by Megan Fox) before they met. Bynes tracks the girl down to size her up, after which she gets a shocking new perspective on her boyfriend. He hit it and quit it!
THE DEBUT ROLE
Holiday In The Sun, 2001
• Miss Fox’s first role at 16. The writing in this scene is so stellar, we don’t want to spoil it with an introduction. Let’s just say it features an Olsen twin’s boyfriend and the phrase “Now he’s what time it is!”
