I’m a huge fan of Inception but I have to admit that Elliot is fairly flat in that movie. Page’s earlier work seems to have more dynamic characters, like Hard Candy, Trailer Park Boys, and Juno. Page has always been my celebrity crush though so I’m pretty biased.
There’s a studied effect on pro athletes where getting paid to play makes them lose their love of the game, and I think it’s something like that. Anecdotally I used to love acting but I didn’t even last a year in the theatre industry before I burned out and haven’t acted in a single thing since.

When artists become successful they often seem to lose the spark that got them there. Not sure what to do with that, tho.
