Damn. I was looking forward to seeing Noah Wyle return to the role. I also wish the folks from The Social Network were in charge.

I cringe at the idea, but I also cringed at the idea of heath ledger playing the joker. Ashton is one of the few celebrities I can think of that seems like they would really care of nailing jobs just right.

Not to disrespect either Steven Jobs or Aston Kutcher, but while I guess Kutcher has the ego/arrogance to match the role he's playing, I cannot imagine his aura of flippancy and silliness being overcome. With all his silly, comic roles in the past, it'll be hard for anyone to take him seriously.

Wait - is this an April Fool's joke? (God, I can't wait for this day to be over!)

He may be a tad young for the stuff after 2000 (i.e., the part more interesting and familiar to most potential viewers) but I have a feeling that this Noah Wyle kid could make a decent show of portraying Steve Jobs.

I would have chosen Christian Bale
