His first big break was on on the BBC
Page’s first big break came when he played the role of a young teacher on the BBC drama Waterloo Road. He had before then earned his first on-screen role as a teenage tearaway in the BBC medical drama, Casualty. He also appeared in the Channel 4 comedy, Fresh Meat. Then came his American breakout role in 2016. That year, he played Chicken George in the History Channel’s remake of Roots, a role he said he found “hugely intimidating,” but an “honor”. Through his role in Roots, he caught the attention of Betsy Beers, the chief content officer at Shondaland and Shonda Rimes’s producing partner. He then got a role in Rhimes’ legal drama For the People, which aired for two seasons on ABC.
