- fudgy73 11y agoIn Arabic, "fass" means fart. That's right, he's a Fart-bender, which I suppose is a type of airbender.
- edkhalid1 11y agoyou're already bending fass into faswa. Not cool.
- burkaman 11y agoReally, that's why? Or is it because most people would rather watch a movie where the actors look like the characters? I don't know of any Syrian actors that look like Steve Jobs. And I definitely don't know of any Syrian actors who could play him as well as Fassbender could.
- cptskippy 11y agoOnly Michael Fassbender looks nothing like Steve Jobs.
- mef 11y agoThe reason you don't know of any is because they're not cast in big roles, because leading roles almost always go to white actors.
- onegene 11y agoMy skin color is I guess white but my heritage is mixed between old European (possibly Scotland and/or Ireland) and definitely Native American Indian. If I were an actor and got a big role; are you saying a white person got the part because my skin is what people usually call white? I'm fairly certain a lot of famous actors who it sounds like you would categorize as white are probably more like me, mixed.
- emergentcypher 11y agoWe would hire an actor who both looks reasonably like you. If you're mixed but have X-colored skin, it makes sense to have someone with X-colored skin portray you.
- decisiveness 11y agoI know this is slightly off topic, but after watching the trailer I just can't see Fassbender as Jobs. Fassbender is a great actor, and I can't think of any Hollywood leading man that could do a better job, but their personas are so different that it's hard to watch and not constantly be reminded that you're watching an actor act and not a character in a biopic.
- benihana 11y ago>Of course, people would rather that part of his heritage weren't brought up, because it's completely irrelevant to what Jobs accomplished. It always seems to be the people implying that other are people racist who bring up his heritage.
- trafnar 11y agoWell, Steve was half white. A Syrian actor would have been just as innacurate.
