Asia Kate Dillon has appeared in "John Wick 3" along with hit shows like "Billions" and "Orange Is the New Black." Now the actor is openly hunting for a job in customer service.

Dillon shared the news on Instagram on Tuesday.

Eleven years of acting

For the last 11 years acting has been Dillon's only source of income. That has changed.

"Now, like for many, many performer colleagues of mine - particularly those of us who are trans/nonbinary/gender nonconforming - acting work has all but diminished," they wrote. That leaves them "in need of service work once more."

Back to familiar work

Dillon has done this kind of work before. Their résumé in food and customer service runs from "dishwasher to food runner to floor manager."

They say they are "available for part-time, night and weekend work."

Dillon also made it clear the job search comes from a real love of the work. "I love customer service. I love creating welcoming environments for people to relax in and connect with each other. I love food and drink." They also called themselves passionate and curious as well as "a great teammate."

The post is a blunt look at how hard it has become for many working actors to find steady roles.
