Gage's entry into acting came via a Compound W warts commercial in high school that he tried desperately to hide from classmates — gay subtext and all. A recurring role on American Vandal and a kids' show led him to write a heartfelt letter to Sam Levinson after watching Another Happy Day and recognising his family. Levinson was in New Orleans and Gage lied to a local agent about living there to get hired as a local. That relationship eventually led to Euphoria. The career-shifting moment came from a COVID Zoom audition in which a director forgot to mute himself and told his wife that Gage had a 'shitty apartment.' Gage called it out and improvised it into the scene, recorded the interaction on his end as all remote auditions required, and later posted it. He woke up to 100 calls and 100,000 follow requests — a hero for actors for one month. The following month, the internet decided he had orchestrated the entire thing as a marketing stunt to get onto White Lotus.
