When rumors swirled that Michael Cera may be cast in the role of a young(er) Mark Zuckerberg in the Facebook movie, I could totally see it.
I was a little attached to the idea, honestly, so when I heard that Shia LaBeouf is also being considered to play Zuckerberg, I was a little distraught, because I like Shia too, but don't know if I see him as the charmingly awkward boy CEO.
But it's any man's game right now — it may be neither LaBeouf nor Cera. So I brainstormed a couple actors in the same age range that I could envision as Zuckerberg — Jesse Eisenberg of Adventureland and Jackson Rathbone (Jasper from Twilight).
Is either of them better than the prior two options, or can you think of someone even better?

michael cera is too typecast for me to believe it
1i think shia has the acting ability to do it
and i agree, the guy from adventureland would be cute
they could all be made to look like him for sure
I like the idea of michael cera doing it, he's just awkward enough to be a geek.
2Jesse Eisenberg gets my vote, if not him then Michael Cera
3I don't understand why a movie about Facebook would be interesting. I'm very confused. Why not Google or Yahoo? I dunno...
4Michael Cera all the way. I think he would fit the part perfectly. I'd also want Logan from Gilmore GIrls just because I want to see him in a movie
and he could pull it off.
5Michael Cera is great for certain things but he always uses the same style of acting in everything he does, and I just don't think it would fit for this role, Id like to see someone with a lot more of a range then him.
6For me it could be between Jesse Eisenberg or Anton Yelchin ("other" option). I think Michael Cera would be great except for the fact that his character always feels the same in every movie...always kind of awkward and uncomfortable...but, that's just my opinion.
7Ooh, Anton Yelchin is a great suggestion!
8Soooo sick of Michael Cera. I have yet to see him do anything original, and Year One was HORRIBLE!
9Shia, Shia, Shia!
