Actor Elliot Page, known for his role in Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," has spoken about not receiving the anticipated job offers following his participation in the blockbuster film. Page made these remarks during an appearance on "On Film… With Kevin McCarthy."
Page, who publicly came out as transgender in 2020, also commented on potential industry biases, joking, "I know I get some pushback for being Canadian."
Prior to "The Odyssey," Page worked with Nolan on the 2010 film "Inception." Reflecting on that experience, Page stated that while he enjoyed being in the movie and working with Nolan, he was "personally really uncomfortable" during filming. He contrasted this with his role in "Juno," which he found less challenging. Page expressed a belief that he could now produce some of his best work, attributing this to feeling more "embodied and connected," which allows him to "let go more."
Oscar nominee Samantha Morton, who played "Circe" in "The Odyssey," has also discussed her post-film career prospects. Morton revealed on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast that she had not worked for a year since "The Odyssey," despite having representation. "At the end of the day, I'm 49," Morton said, adding, "Whilst I do believe I'm a good actor, there are other good actors out there. So, the politics of the industry has changed massively."
