Who played Steve Jobs in the 2015 biographical film Steve Jobs?
Answer
Michael Fassbender
Michael Fassbender played Steve Jobs in the 2015 biographical film Steve Jobs.
Directed by Danny Boyle, the film was written by Aaron Sorkin and adapted from Walter Isaacson’s 2011 biography of Jobs. It is structured around three major product launches rather than presenting a conventional scene-by-scene biography.
The story focuses on backstage confrontations before the 1984 Macintosh launch, the 1988 NeXT Computer launch, and the 1998 iMac launch. Kate Winslet played Joanna Hoffman, Seth Rogen played Steve Wozniak, and Jeff Daniels played John Sculley.
The film is a dramatization, so many conversations and encounters are shaped for narrative effect rather than presented as documentary transcripts. Ashton Kutcher portrayed Jobs in the separate 2013 film Jobs, which is a frequent source of confusion between the two productions.
