If Taylor wanted people to know his name, then bagging the lead role in a movie was definitely a good way to go about it. In the summer of 2005, the young star was cast as Sharkboy in adventure film “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.”
Although the film received largely negative reviews, it brought Lautner to the attention of producers. Several months after the movie debuted, Lautner was back on the big screen playing Eliot Murtaugh, one of the rival family children in the comedy “Cheaper by the Dozen 2.”
