Elliot Page Says He’s Not Getting Lots of Offers After Acclaimed ‘The Odyssey’ Role

The Hollywood Reporter · 3 hours ago

Actor Elliot Page has revealed that he has not received a surge of job offers despite widespread critical acclaim for his role in Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," one of the year's biggest box office successes. Speaking to the podcast On Film…With Kevin McCarthy, Page said he was not fielding the flood of calls his interviewer assumed he would be getting, adding wryly that he might need to be more proactive in approaching filmmakers himself rather than waiting to be sought out.

Page played the doomed Greek soldier Sinon, a performance many have tipped for possible Oscar consideration, after some initial online backlash over his casting subsided once the film was released. He suggested industry perceptions of him have shifted and joked the lack of offers was down to "the Canadian thing," a nod to ongoing US-Canada trade tensions. He also shared behind-the-scenes details, including that he recorded no ADR for the film, with all dialogue captured live on set, and that he still keeps the chess pawn token from his "Inception" character.
