And it doesn't eliminate the option of playing female roles as well. I wouldn't be surprised if a minor trend starts, where other female actors also transition as they get older, for practical as well as personal reasons. It's like the start of a new, elongated career for a really solid actor. It makes a lot of sense to me that once age has it's way, and female actors are pushed either to tough Tilda Swinton / Frances McDormand roles or to heavy makeup and de-aging, then becoming male and diving into male roles could be more advantageous, though in this case not necessarily part of a deliberate plan.

Isn't that what producers and casting directors look for? Someone who just looks the part, as well as having a certain magnitude of acting ability and some range. Aged to perfection, his roles as a villain, unreliable narrator, and sketchy dude are incredible.Įllen Page was great at roles that fit the natural benefits of her prior physical appearance. He portrays Adolphus Murtry in Season 4 of The Expanse.

I would compare to Leo DiCaprio, pigeonholed as a cute, youthful sex-symbol, with a lesser than traditionally masculine appearance (for the 90s - 00s). Burn Gorman, full name Burn Hugh Winchester Gorman, is a British actor and musician. It seems a very fortunate coincidence that Elliot Page's gender switch may also have the effect of opening up a lot of great roles. Gorman is best known for his roles as Owen Harper in Torchwood, as Gottlieb in Pacific Rim, as William Guppy in Bleak House, as Phillip Stryver in The Dark Knight.

He was born in Hollywood, to English parents, while his father was a professor at the University of California. The facial expression, almost a little sneer, says a lot. Burn Hugh Winchester Gorman is a British actor and musician.
