Elliot Page on facing challenges to get new acting projects

Speaking during On Film... With Kevin McCarthy's podcast, the 39-year-old actor revealed that he has yet to find his next great role after his stellar turn as Sinon in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

He further said, "I don't know if this is weird or too personal, but when you do ask me about (Inception), I had such a great time being in that movie. I had such a great time working with [writer-director Christopher Nolan], but I was also personally really uncomfortable. Whereas, for a part like Juno, I was able to feel more comfortable and embodied or something like that. But I feel now, because that’s removed, and I don’t have to deal with that when I’m acting in my performances. I am like… I feel like I could maybe do some of my best work now.”
