You know what: I dearly miss it: the real Steve, walking on stage of a real Apple event, opening his bottle of water and switching on his reality distortion field. OMG how do I miss it!

I suspect they only picked Ashton because he's the only one who still looks like he's living in the 70s, thus he seems to 'look the part'. Really, long hair and a pony tail? I guess it works for a show about kids in the 70s, but you've got to move on from your first big role, man.

Noah Wyle would have been a MUCH better choice, good luck making Ashton Kutcher look and act like Jobs.

That is a bad casting pic on the looks. And, well, on the acting itself. He is a comedy actor, not a bio movie actor.
