The Actor: Christian Bale
Why? Presuming the film covers the majority of Jobs’ eventful life, they’ll need to cast more than one actor in the role to save offending his memory with any iffy age makeup.
Not only does Bale have a decent look for the young Jobs, but he’s a rare actor capable of both Zen philosophising (Jobs was a Buddhist) and bouts of angrily passionate perfectionism (for method bile, the director should get a crew-member to prance into his eyeline during a key boardroom scene).
Stand-In: Edward Norton

People (including me) thought it was too soon to make The Social Network... But its one of the definitive films of the decade.! What it fundamentally showed though, was that it's all about the angle of the approach to the story. Its gotta have meat on the bones. Not just a list of events.. And its all about the directors vision in approaching the execution.. Paging Mr FIncher!

Check out 'Pirates Of Silicon valley' - Noah Wyle is very, very convincing as dear Old Jobsey.

Jesus, not Sam Worthington as a stand-in. For anything. Don't encourage the boy...

Maybe Pixar could do an animated biopic simply called 'Jobs', about a lowly janitor who is also genius inventor, but has anti-social behavioural issues and is friends with Ben Affleck... or alternatively, get Matt Damon to do it...

Any actor who can do oily and smug will do.
