Given his formidable ... persona, there's just one person who could play him: The larger-than-life, busy, intelligent, oddball, unlikely and jolly Kevin Smith. And Smith is a champion of indie filmmaking--double bonus!

Sculley remained CEO for 10 years, being named top-paid Silicon Valley executive in 1987 with a salary of $2.2 million.
But he fought with Jobs, and ultimately booted Jobs from the firm he founded.
Ultimately, approaching Apple's tech with a traditional business sales model failed. Apple's margins sank, sales petered out, the stock slid. In 1993 he was ousted.
Who better to play the calm, traditional, perhaps slightly wicked in terms of business ethics than the odd, serious, calm Bill Pullman?

A smart-cookie businessman, difficult, not afraid of rocking the boat and unquestionably interesting ... perfect alignment with George Clooney, we think.

Evidently a powerful woman, able to match or best the moody, notorious Jobs, we think Laurene would need to be played by someone fascinating and complex ... and that's why Elizabeth Mitchell comes to mind. Remember Dr. Burke in Lost? FBI agent Erica Evans on V?
Images via Zeedeo, Flickr user Gage SkidmoreClose to Jobs, Schiller's career at Apple has spanned 17 years, and Schiller presented alongside Jobs at many Apple events.
He's also slightly famous for the occasional verbal slipup, and he's a very different character to his former boss.
Perfectly matched to his ... weighty presence, we can't help but imagine Jim Belushi in this role. But first, cast all thoughts of K-9 out of your mind.
