Such a shame, because they are a very capable actor, and they deserve roles.

Such a Relief, because they are a very incapable actor, and they deserve no roles.

The way social media vilifies him for no reason other than bigotry is just disgusting. They truly believe they have moral authority

no pretty privilege unlike Hunter Schafer

Truth be told I don't think I've seen him in anything so I can't really comment on his acting skills, but regardless he's right that Hollywood hasn't caught up with trans actors. And even though his coming out got a decent amount of media coverage at the time, it will have absolutely hindered his schedule and getting work, sadly. And that sucks however you spin it.

He's right, especially when you were famous prior to transitioning it must be hard to navigate booking jobs.

That being said, they should also tap into some acting lessons because they've never been that good

why do i always see him kvetching about his career like you were just in a Christopher Nolan movie. most actors can't say that

I watched the Odyssey and he was really bad on it.

Very bad casting in my opinion.

Did he expect the floodgates to open? He's still a terrible actor

Elliot Page isn't unattractive. If Paul Mescal, Andrew Scott, and Pedro Pescal (who all look like a human foot) are considered "heartthrob attractive" due to Hollywood gaslighting, then so is fresh-faced Elliot Page. Page's issue (in the acting world) stems from not being "passable" enough when he speaks, so he'll be harder to cast unless it's for a very specific role. And he would have it easier if he was "more conventionally attractive" by "Hollywood's standards" today like Jacob Elordi or Michael B. Jordan. In Elliot's defence, there's hardly any attractive male actors in Hollywood anymore like there were in the '90s and '00s, while all the female actors still have to look like supermodels today. Jacob Elordi looks like a troll compared to PRIME Tom Cruise.

I don't think he's a good actor at all in anything I've seen him in (except for maybe Hard Candy). But that hasn't stopped Gal Gadot from getting roles, so I get his frustration.

There's a sadness in the eyes. I have always liked Elliot in both TV and movie roles.

Gal gadot is doing ai movies now

I apologize for the inconvenience but I can live without seeing a million Elliot Page movies, personally

I wonder if transitioning affects your acting abilities?

like he was good in Juno, but maybe the way you act changes when you also physically change?

this. their acting was a chop in the movie

He's a 5'1 actor, that's gotta hurt pretty bad

No shade but he's not the best actor and he's not suuuper passable and we know how the GP is..

Its about the availability of roles, unfortunately.

I mean, we all know the reason why and it's not because of the acting skills cuz that hasn't stopped talentless actresses or actors to get roles so...

They should focus on indie films; maybe horror I could see him in a black phone 3 as a copy cat grabber

@Kiddeaux please enlighten us on the parts of this post that you disagree with

He was great in Juno, Hardy Candy, An American Crime and Whip It. I loved him when he was Ellen Page, and I support him completely in his transition but I knew it was going to hurt his career after that. He still got to be in a Christopher Nolan film and that's amazing.

i think villains are great I could also see him being a season villain on Dexter resurrection or even playing an angel in a Christmas movie.
