In the movie Jobs, I portray the calligrapher Robert Palladino,who helped cultivate Steve Jobs’ love of calligraphy and beauty in Apple’s products.  Palladino (in pic at right) was a monk while he was teaching at Reed College, then later became a parish priest after his wife died.  The Catholic Sentinel, the paper for the archdiocese of Portland, OR, has a nice article on Palladino and my thoughts on playing him.
