Elliot Page

[Samof94]

What do you think of his acting and body of work?? I would like some political discussion here but no deadnaming!!!

[T'Chenka]

He's nowhere near a world-class talent, but not a bad actor either. Freedom actor. Cares a lot about environmentalism, which gives him bonus points in my eyes.

[PSOL]

Has had some good roles. I’m interested in seeing how his career goes on over time.

[John Dule]

He's made a whole career out of playing female characters, which I find extremely problematic. There are already so few good roles for women in Hollywood films, and now this guy has to go steal them? I think Elliot Page should be digitally removed from all his previous films and replaced with real actresses. Only then can we end the toxic tradition of casting men in strong female roles.

He was kind of cute.

I also find it a bit odd that the OP deadnamed him in a rant against deadnaming.

Has there been any updates on the transition?

Trump still isn't cooperating with it.

What else was to be expected from a privileged, straight white male...

He and his wife are vegan just an FYI.

Juno, Vanya, Kitty Pride, Ariadne. The accidental deadnaming is gone. I also removed a reference to an old British woman who is completely unrelated.

When very early in his career. Hard Candy, Whip It and several films/shows with female partners more recently.

Whatever helps you cope with the cognitive dissonance required to engage unironically with this thread.

Lol. Have a soft spot for Canadians in general.

[Rules for me, but not for thee]

Justin Beiber? Great actor.

[dead0man]

can he still play ladies in movies?  Would that be problematic?

Likes women and is Canadian, lol.

What happens to Vanya will be interesting.

Last month Variety had reported that Elliot Page will continue to play the role with no gender changes planned for his character:

It's probably worth pointing out that The Umbrella Academy is no original creation, but a comic book adaptation and in the comics the character was a woman und not transgender.
