‘Billions’ Star Asia Kate Dillon Seeks Customer Service Work as Acting Jobs Decline
Dillon says trans and nonbinary performers are seeing fewer roles as they post a service-industry résumé and seek work outside acting.
- On Tuesday, actor Asia Kate Dillon posted a plea for service work on Instagram, stating that acting opportunities have "all but diminished" for trans and nonbinary talent after eleven years in the industry.
- Dillon, 41, began working in food service as a teenager in 2000 before transitioning to full-time acting in 2015; they now seek to return to hospitality work to support themselves.

- Available for night and weekend shifts, Dillon expressed a desire to "create welcoming environments" and remains a "quick study" regarding new point-of-sale systems, appearing ready to start immediately.
- Professional avenues shrink for trans and nonbinary talent in Hollywood, where Dillon is not the only LGBTQIA+ performer currently facing job instability amid broader industry challenges.
