“When I designed Steve, I was thinking about Jack Black.”
– Markus Notch Persson , the original developer of Minecraft and creator of Steve, in 2016
Of course! Who better to play the role of Steve? Steve is a survivor. The person who portrays him should showcase Steve’s ability to fight, mine, craft, and survive in a hostile world.

BONUS FACT:
Steve has no Voice.
Steve is generally a silent protagonist, with no dialogue or voice acting in the game. However, he does make a few sounds when injured or exerting effort (grunts and taking damage). Anyone portraying Steve will be the silent type so again Jack Black is obviously who comes to mind. As the creators intended.
Did you know that humans can have different shaped faces? Some people categorize face types using words like triangle, round, square, oval, diamond, rectangle, and heart. When I think about Jack Black, I think about his square type jawline and athletic adventurer body.
I guess they couldn’t afford Tom Hardy!
