Daniel Day-Lewis Should Play Steve Jobs

A few days after Steve Jobs passed away, Sony Pictures purchased the rights to his, then, unreleased biography by Walter Isaacson. Since then, there has been all sorts of rumors about who would play Steve Jobs, ranging from Noah Wyle -- who played Steve in the TV film Pirates of Silicon Valley -- to George Clooney.

Today, the first picture emerged from Daniel Day-Lewis on the set of Lincoln, the Steven Spielberg directed biopic, and it goes without saying that he looks a lot like America's 16th President

So why should Daniel-Day Lewis play Steve Jobs? 

For starters, anyone who has seen Daniel-Day Lewis act in such films as My Left Foot, which he won a Best Actor Oscar, In the Name of the Father, Gangs of New York or There Will be Blood, which he won his second Best Actor Oscar, goes without saying that he is one of the greatest actors of all time. He clearly has no problem losing himself in each role he plays and not to mention the research he does for them.

The man built the house his character in The Crucible, John Proctor, lived in just because he's that dedicated to his characters!

Now, I'm not a Photoshop expert by any means, but I took the same Abe Lincoln picture of Daniel Day-Lewis and blurred out the hair and goatee, to make him look like Steve Jobs and this is the end result:

Yes, I see it happening, he's even dressed like him. Now let's hope Hollywood sees it the same way...
