[3] [4] He retired from professional cycling at the age of 19 due to various injuries and his inability to remain competitive in Europe without performance-enhancing drugs. [5] He recalled "It was an era that was plagued by drugs, and it was very hard to see your way through to a long career... because I stayed clean, you could beat them some of the time, but not all of the time." [3]
Describing his decision to take up acting after ending his cycling career, Page has said "I went into a wilderness for a while and had nothing to fall back on, then I decided to do something that was going to scare me". [3] He began with "a little Tuesday night drama class" [6] and graduated from the Centre for Performing Arts, Adelaide (now the Adelaide College of the Arts) in 1996. [7]
In the first years of his acting career, Page primarily worked in theatre productions in Adelaide.

After the series aired, Macdonald sued the ABC for defamation for erroneously depicting him as deserting his family. Scenes of Page's performance in Paper Giants were played in court as evidence. The ABC later issued a formal apology to Macdonald. [10]
