The roles have helped make Dillon an emissary of sorts for the nonbinary, praised for “making history” and “blazing a trail,” making news for entering the Emmys race in the “best supporting actor” category, inspiring MTV to combine the “actor” and “actress” categories for their annual Movie & TV Awards, and publicly elucidating the particulars of their gender identity for everyone from Ellen DeGeneres to Khloé Kardashian. Dillon also plays a nonbinary (though less explicitly so) villain “The Adjudicator” in the third installment of John Wick action franchise. Taylor introduces themselves to their hedge fund manager boss with “my pronouns are they, theirs, and them” - a sentence that may be commonplace in college classrooms but is rarely, if ever, uttered in Wall Street boardrooms. That Dillon has both carefully considered the dog’s gender identity and is explaining it to a complete stranger shouldn’t exactly come as a surprise, since they’re arguably Hollywood’s most famous nonbinary actor, one whose star turn came on an unlikely television series: Showtime’s aggressively macho financial drama Billions, in which Dillon plays intern savant Taylor Mason.
