[edit] Career
Page knew that he wanted to be an actor during his senior year at Princeton:
| “ | I came home and told my mom and dad I was moving to Hollywood to become an actor. I don't think the mystique of the 'struggling actor' was the allure for me. When I arrived in California, I knew I had a lot to learn as an actor, as opposed to someone who had already made acting an art for him or herself. You see pretty quickly there are some guys that have it and some that do not.[2] | ” |
While in Los Angeles, he appeared on the television shows Men, Women & Dogs, Undressed, 7th Heaven, Popular,[1] Hang Time, and Border Town. In New York City, he was cast as Trey Kenyon[1] in 2002 on the daytime drama All My Children.
