Page came out publicly as transgender in december 2020 and became the first openly transgender man on the cover of Time magazine, continuing to work on projects like The Umbrella Academy. Though, following The Odyssey, page indicated on a podcast that it\u2019s been challenging to get cast, partly due to his gender identity and possibly other reasons. Page remarked that his recent experience on The Odyssey was more pleasant compared to earlier roles like in Inception, calling it a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >full-circle moment<\/a>.&#8221; Despite the difficulties in landing new roles, Page expressed gratitude for his career and the support from colleagues like Nolan.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/?s=transgender\">transgender<\/a> Hollywood actor does not appear to have any roles lined up despite success in major movies, including <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/in_focus\/4675921\/odyssey-proof-politics-makes-person-miserable\/\"><em>The Odyssey<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elliot Page, whose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/magnum-p-i-actor-roger-e-mosley-dead-at-83\/\" title=\"\u2018Magnum, P.I....
