Elliot Page was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia to Martha Philpotts, a teacher, and Dennis Page, a graphic designer. Page wanted to start acting at an early age and attended the Neptune Theater School. They began their career at the age of 10 on the
award-winning television series Pit Pony (1999), for which they received a Gemini nomination and a Young Artist Awards nomination. Later, Page appeared in Marion Bridge (2002), which won the
award for Best Canadian First Feature at the Toronto International Film
Festival. They won a Gemini Award for their role of Lilith in the first
season of ReGenesis (2004), a
one-hour drama for TMN/Movie Central, and for the cable feature,
Mrs. Ashboro's Cat (2004),
for Best Performance in a Children's or Youth Program or Series. In
addition, Page appeared in the cult hit TV series
Trailer Park Boys (2001).
As the lead in David Slade's Hard Candy (2005), which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, Page garnered much praise for their tour de force performance as a 14-year-old who meets a 30-year-old photographer on the Internet and then looks to expose him as a pedophile. Films that followed included the title role of Bruce McDonald's The Tracey Fragments (2007); Tội Ác Người Mỹ (2007), also starring Catherine Keener; and the third installation of the X-Men franchise, X-Men: Phán Xét Cuối Cùng (2006), where Page played Kitty Pryde.
With their breakout role in Jason Reitman's hit comedy Dính Bầu (2007), about an offbeat teenager who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, Page received Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe and SAG Best Actress nominations, and won the Independent Spirit Award for their performance. They followed up that turn with the lead in Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, the roller-derby comedy-drama Teen Girl Nổi Loạn (2009), Christopher Nolan's psychological thriller Kẻ Đánh Cắp Giấc Mơ (2010), the independent film Nhân Cách Khác (2010), and the dark comedy Siêu Nhân Cùi Bắp (2010), opposite Rainn Wilson and Liv Tyler.
Page co-starred alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Alison Pill, Alec Baldwin, and Greta Gerwig in the Woody Allen ensemble comedy Tình Yêu Đến Từ Rome (2012), and appeared in the thriller Nữ Tình Báo (2013), a story centered on a contract worker (played by Brit Marling) tasked with infiltrating an anarchist group, only to find herself falling for its leader (played by Alexander Skarsgård).
