Steve Jobs was, after all, a bit of a punk. Two and a Half Men star Ashton Kutcher is set to portray the Apple founder in Jobs, an independent film about the life of the tech visionary. Kutcher, best known for his comedic roles and work on television shows like MTV’s Punk’d, has also dabbled in drama and bears an uncanny physical resemblance to the acid-dropping designer of the iPhone. It may be a race to the finish for 34-year-old Kutcher and his crew—Sony has also showed interest in putting Jobs’s life up on the big screen, buying the rights to Walter Isaacson’s biography last year.
