Actual Actors Brought On to Transformers3

Finally, Transformers 3 actually has some ACTORS who can ACT.
Realizing that Megan Fox’sĀ stripper lips are not alluring the same crowd that used to, and her acting chops are virtually non-existant, Michael Bay has brought on a few “veterans” to level out the lack of actual performance.
