George Clooney and Noah Wyle Vying to Play Steve Jobs on Film?
Last month, we noted that Sony Pictures was reportedly courting Aaron Sorkin to write the screenplay for a film adaption of Walter Isaacson's authorized biography of Steve Jobs. At the time, former ER star Noah Wyle, who played Jobs in the 1999 made-for-TV movie Pirates of Silicon Valley, reported that he would love to reprise the role in a new film.

George Clooney, 50, is battling it out with his former ER co-star Noah Wyle, 40, to play Apple founder Steve Jobs in a new movie.Isaacson's biography of Jobs has been one of the biggest-selling books of the year despite having debuted just last month. Amazon projected just after the book's release that it could become the company's #1 seller for 2011, and the title currently stands at #2.
The biopic, which is expected to start filming next year, will chart the life of the tecchie guru, who died last month from cancer at the age of 56.

Maybe it's because I've already seen Wyle play the part and maybe its because he looks so much like Jobs, but my gut likes Wyle more playing the role.
I will say, though, that Clooney wouldn't have to act much to get Jobs' character down.

Russian actor Peter Mamonov should play Jobs in the last years of Jobs life.
He really looks like Steve Jobs.

Clooney -> Wozniak
With the right glasses, wig, and beard, George Clooney would be awesome as Steve Wozniak.

Eh... he's too tubby. And his eyes are too beagle-puppyish to show the fierce determination that Job's did.
Too tubby? ;)
Depends which Steve Jobs he'll be acting the part of…
Meh. They should hire an unknown actor to play Jobs.
Absolutely agree with this.
