Elliot Page is experiencing difficulty securing new acting opportunities following the July release of “The Odyssey.” During an appearance on the “On Film… With Kevin McCarthy” podcast, the actor disclosed that suitable roles have been scarce since completing work on the Christopher Nolan film. Page emphasized his genuine desire to continue his career, stating he remains open to compelling projects if opportunities arise.
Page reflected on how his perspective on performance has shifted since coming out as transgender in 2020. The actor noted that he now feels significantly more at ease on set, contrasting this with his earlier experiences in major productions like “Inception.” Working on that 2010 Nolan film left Page feeling uncomfortable and out of place, an experience he documented in his memoir. Reuniting with Nolan for “The Odyssey” proved transformative, allowing Page to approach his craft from a place of greater authenticity and self-acceptance.
The casting of Page as Sinon in “The Odyssey” generated considerable online controversy, with some public figures questioning the decision. However, supporters of the casting, including television personality Whoopi Goldberg, defended the choice and questioned why critics expressed concern about the filmmaker’s artistic decisions.
