Early life and education
Regé-Jean Page[1][2] was born to an English preacher and a Zimbabwean nurse.[3] He has one brother, Tose Page, and was once in a band with his brother.[4][5] He spent his childhood in his mother's native Harare before returning to London for secondary school, where he took up acting as a hobby[6] and studied sound engineering at the Northern Technical College. After two years of auditioning, he enrolled at Drama Centre London.[4]
Career
Page's first acting role was in 2001 playing Tanaka in television series Gimme 6.
In 2017, he was cast in a supporting role in the Shondaland-produced legal drama For the People which ran for two seasons, before getting cancelled by ABC in 2019.[14][15] On film, he had a minor roles in the post-apocalyptic film Mortal Engines in 2018 and drama film Sylvie's Love in 2020.[16]
In 2019, Page was cast as one of the leads in the first series of Netflix period drama Bridgerton,[17] another Shondaland project.[18] It is based on the Regency romance novel The Duke and I and was released in December 2020.[18] The show was a critical success[19] and Page received an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series presented by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,[19] with Time magazine including him in their 100 Next List in 2021.[20] He was also nominated for an Primetime Emmy for the role.[21] Page did not return for the show's second series despite being offered to come back as he initially only signed a one-series deal, and wanted to explore other opportunities outside the show.[19][22]
In 2022, Page appeared in Netflix's film The Gray Man which received mixed reviews.[23] David Ehrlich of IndieWire described Page as "miserable in the role of a gallingly basic villain",[24] with the BBC's Nicholas Barber calling his performance "one-dimensionally evil".[25] The same year, he was made the face of Armani Code.[26] Page played a character in the fantasy film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023).[27]
Page will play the role of Simon Templar in The Saint, with Doug Liman directing.[28]
