They were like, ‘Which one do you want to do?'” Muniz remembered. “I immediately picked ‘Agent Cody Banks,’ but I remember everyone pushing me to do ‘Holes’ because of the story and it’s a little more dramatic. Shia LaBeouf ended up doing it and it kind of catapulted his movie career.” Related Stories NBCU Television Chairman Pearlena Igbokwe and Apple Services VP Oliver Schusser Join Variety's Entertainment Marketing Summit
