It looks like casting for supporting roles in the Steve Jobs biopic has begun. Michael Stuhlbarg is said to be joining Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs and Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak in the movie. Stuhlburg, of Boardwalk Empire fame, is reported to be playing the role of Andy Hertzfeld, one of Apple's earlier employees who was instrumental in designing the Mac OS.
In addition to the role of Hertzfeld, the part of former Apple CEO John Scully is yet to be filled, but the part is rumored to go to Jeff Daniels.

Boardwalk Empire's Michael Stuhlbarg reportedly joins Jobs biopic in supporting role
My favourite character he's played is Griffin, in MiB3. Sorry, not sorry.

Hey iMore writers and editors,
We get it. Aaron Sorkin is adapting Walter Isaacson's biography into a biopic. We've known this for three years. Could you please alert us when there is actual news regarding this movie? At this rate, given the movie hasn't started production, are we to expect multiple posts daily once filming starts? I can imagine the posts now...
"Michael Fassbender gets a hangnail on the first day of filming."
"Seth Rogen took a 20 wipe dump after breakfast, before filming started."
"Kraft Service was late to the set on day one of filming Steve Jons biopic."
"Kraft Service failed to bring vegetarian options on day one of Filming for Steve Jobs biopic."
"Aaron Sorkin got a flat tire on his way to Steve Jobs biopic set."
"Seth Rogen annoys the film crew with his laugh. Makes things right by teaching PA's how to roll crossjoints."
Is your objective to enter the Guiness Book of World Records for most useless posts about a movie before the movie even starts filming?
You are actively turning off a loyal fan base to this movie by highlighting how many top tier celebs have rejected the lead role, all its setbacks, and delays. Sure this may happen with many films, but I don't hear about it. Thank you for making me appreciate the fact that I don't read anywhere close to this level of coverage on 99.99999% of films that are still months away from starting to film.
In my unsolicited opinion, you really devalue the legitimate posts on your site by filling it with this fluff. I'd expect this level of useless coverage from BGR and/or Yahoo.
My god I wish I had the wherewithal to type this first. These are the sentiments of 99% of your readers. I would love the next post about this movie to be the opening date and that's it.
I suspect the current owners of this conglomerate are trying to boost traffic in an effort to sellout as quite a few of the other tech sites have done in years past. Since iOS 8 and the iPhone 6's dropped, their coverage has been on a kamikaze nose dive.
5+ Jobs biopic posts / week minumum, insane recycling of old articles, and how-to's that are redundant (how to make a FaceTime call on iPhone 6, how to make a FaceTime call on iPad, how to make a FaceTime call on iOS 8 or "iOS 8 review: 3 months later" then "iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus review: 3 months later"). What's next, click-bait headlines?
In addition, the weekly video podcast now routinely has a few contributors included that demonstrate so little enthusiasm it is depressing or another contributor that simply can't put a sentence together. That's fine if one lacks enthusiasm or can't put a sentence together, but they shouldn't be on a podcast.
I guess that Kevin Michaluk is too busy buying Omega watches and paying $1,500 for a gold iPhone on launch day to notice this stuff. Or he needs this fluff to continue buying Omega watches and $1,500 gold iPhones.
In any event, this site is nose diving fast. It used to be leaps and bounds ahead of the competition, hence the reason I still visit. I wish it still were leaps and bounds ahead. Sadly, it isn't.
He's great in Boardwalk empire as Arnold Rothstein.
