Really, 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.
