| Ashton Kutcher spotted in character as Steve Jobs Date: May 14, 2012 06:33PM |

Well, he's got the facial hair down. Not to mention the turtleneck and the hair part.
But judging from the photo alone, Ashton Kutcher doesn't necessarily come across as the embodiment of Apple founder Steve Jobs. (Kutcher was spotted in character on Friday, grabbing coffee near his home before heading to a film studio.)
Kutcher, 34, is playing the late technology guru in a biopic tentatively named "Jobs: Get Inspired." The $15 million film is set to hit theaters next year and revolves around the early years of Apple -- from the seventies through the turn of the millennium.

Perhaps the "Two and a Half Men" star will make up for his physical dissimilarities to Jobs with his acting chops... and personal experience.
You see, he may have a leg up on the role: Like Jobs, Kutcher is a technology entrepreneur, having helped launch and run two tech start-ups -- Ooma and Katalyst. Kutcher was also an early adopter of Twitter, being the first member to reach one million followers (in 2009), and a few years later launched his own own Twitter client with UberMedia, called A.plus.
He also plays successful tech entrepreneur Walden Schmidt on CBS' "Men."

He helped launch and run Ooma...*sigh*
...he was the 'Creative Director' for less than a year...and that was after Ooma had already been around for a few years.

I could use some of that bandwidth dude ~!~!~!~ Internet & Cable down for over 5 hours yesterday
due to heavy rains and fried power supply connected to cable/amplifier.
All about the special benefits of living in a third world country and on an Island *(:>*
Patience, patience, patience . . .

Asston Kutcher is why I will never purchase a Nikon camera!
I wish I was a better person but I have to say it's one of the reasons I won't either lol!
Commercials very seldom, if ever, have the effect of inciting me to buy something. But they very often have the opposite effect. E.g., Carl's Jr.

Perhaps mentioning Ashton Kutcher and acting in the same sentence is an oxymoron . . . ymmv
