Elliot Page
Born on February 21, 1987, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Elliot Page is an Academy Award-nominated Canadian actor, producer, and author celebrated for his profound impact on both independent cinema and major blockbusters. Page first gained international fame with his breakout role as the quick-witted title character in the 2007 film Juno, a performance that earned him nominations for an Oscar, a BAFTA, and a Golden Globe. This success led to a series of high-profile roles, including Kitty Pryde in the X-Men franchise and the "Architect" Ariadne in Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending 2010 thriller Inception. Beyond his film work, Page is widely recognized for starring as Viktor Hargreeves in the hit Netflix series The Umbrella Academy and for providing the likeness and voice for the protagonist of the acclaimed video game Beyond: Two Souls. Throughout his career, Page has been a courageous and visible advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. In 2020, he publicly came out as a transgender man, becoming the first openly trans man to appear on the cover of Time magazine. He detailed his journey of self-discovery and the challenges of navigating Hollywood in his 2023 bestselling memoir, Pageboy. His recent artistic output has focused on authentic queer storytelling, such as the 2024 film Close to You, which he co-wrote and produced. Entering 2026, Page is experiencing a major professional homecoming by reuniting with director Christopher Nolan for the mythic action epic The Odyssey.
