Vaage was active in Oslo from 1921 onward, where he was engaged with the Central Theater (from 1925 to 1931) and the Oslo New Theater. The comedy roles that Vaage played include the clerk Styver in Henrik Ibsen's play Love's Comedy.[1]

Vaage appeared in 49 Norwegian films. He played bit roles in most of them. Waage debuted in the silent film Madame besøker Oslo in 1927, and he played one of the lead roles in Sangen om Rondane in 1934, which was one of the first sound films in Norway.
