Transgender actor Elliot Page shared that his transition has impacted his acting career, noting a decrease in casting opportunities.

He suggested a more proactive approach might be necessary, involving the development of projects and direct outreach to filmmakers.
Despite these challenges, Page expressed enthusiasm for continuing his acting career, feeling more comfortable on set since his transition. He believes he is capable of delivering his best performances currently. Page previously starred as Sinon in Christopher Nolan's 2026 film 'The Odyssey,' which achieved significant box office success, grossing over $1.5 billion globally.
The film's success occurred during a broader recovery period for the movie industry.

Ticket sales also continued to be substantially lower than in 2019, indicating an ongoing shift in audience behavior.
