Asia Kate Dillon announced on social media that after eleven years working exclusively in theater, film and television their acting opportunities have “all but diminished,” and they’re seeking customer-service work. They recounted a long history in food and service jobs - from dishwasher and food runner to floor manager - before transitioning to full-time acting in 2015, and said many performers, especially trans, nonbinary and gender-nonconforming colleagues, are facing similar downturns. Dillon said they enjoy creating welcoming environments, are passionate and a quick study with new POS systems, and are available for part-time, night and weekend shifts.
Dillon’s screen credits include guest spots on shows like Younger and Master of None, a 19-episode run as Brandy Epps on Orange Is the New Black, and the role of Taylor Mason across six seasons and 71 episodes of Billions; film and voice work include John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, The Outside Story, Gen: Lock and the 2025 film Outerlands. They publicly came out as nonbinary in late 2026 and were the first nonbinary performer to portray a nonbinary character on a major TV series; in 2020 they urged awards bodies to drop gendered acting categories as discriminatory.
