->''"I've always been drawn to stories and telling them; whether it was through being a part of theater when I was a little kid, or film, or with music, there's just been an innate desire to feel that connection."''

Elliot Page (born February 21, 1987) is a Canadian actor and activist.

He’s best known for playing ComicBook/KittyPryde in the ''[[Film/XMenFilmSeries X-Men]]'' film series as well as for her breakthrough roles in ''Film/HardCandy'' and ''Film/{{Juno}}''. More recently he's also played Vanya Hargreeves/the White Violin on ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy2019''

Not to be confused with the stage actress Elaine Paige.

He came out as a lesbian in 2014, and as transgender in 2020. Elliot married dancer/choreographer Emma Portner in 2018.

!!This actor's works provide examples of:

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Before coming out as trans, they often adopted a more masculine style, complete with a chin-length bob haircut for ''Freeheld'', though he has since outgrown her hair to mid length.
* CanadaEh: Made fun of in their video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13s9vzXMbks "Crappy Canadian Thanksgiving"]], where several fellow Canadian celebrities celebrate Thanksgiving by [[spoiler:eating Ellen]].
* CannotTellAJoke: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAGLKhAaBqY The basis of this video.]]
* CelebrityEndorsement: Elliot gets paid to promote... computer networking products for Cisco in a campaign portraying a GrassIsGreener little town as the new tech hub of the universe (which just happens to be in their home province of [[CanadaEh Nova Scotia]]).
* CuteAndPsycho: His characters in ''Film/HardCandy'' and ''Film/{{Super}}''. Vanya in Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy is one as well.
* CuteBruiser: Their ActionGirl (e.g. [[Film/XMenFilmSeries Kitty]] [[ComicBook/KittyPryde Pryde]] and [[Film/{{Super}} Boltie]]) roles tend to be this. This is a defining characteristic of a [[Film/WhipIt rollergirl]] as well.
* FakeAmerican: Often plays American character despite being Canadian. Fake "Russian" in the case of Vanya, although having spent all his life in the US he’s pretty much an American as well.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Another reason for their TypeCasting.
* PintSizedPowerhouse:
** Owned the [[Film/XMenTheLastStand Juggernaut]], [[MemeticMutation bitch]]!
** And did you see [[Film/HardCandy what they did]] to [[Film/{{Watchmen}} Nite Owl]]?
** Not to mention [[Film/{{Inception}} bending Paris in half]].
** Escorting much-taller [[Film/WhipIt Juliette Lewis]] to the infield, no mean feat.
** Um... they... did bad things... to [[Film/{{Super}} Rainn Wilson]].
** And she ends up being one of, if not the most powerful of the Hargreeves siblings in ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy''.
* TeensAreShort: The reason for his TypeCasting below. He looks on the bright side, though:
-->"I'm a total shrimp, which makes me [[OlderThanTheyLook look younger]]. I'll be able to stay in that area longer, which is good, because there's more competition in your 20s."
* {{Tomboy}}: Many of his characters are like this.
* WordOfGay[=/=]WordOfSaintPaul: [[https://www.out.com/television/2019/6/06/ellen-page-says-juno-grew-be-lesbian According to them]], most of their characters including Film/{{Juno}} are gay, even if they don't always come out onscreen.
