"Tattooed on Asia Kate Dillon's neck is "einfühlung," the German word for empathy. Not only is it a pretty bad*ss tattoo, it's also a guiding principal for an actor who strives to be a conduit for empathy in all their work, whether they're playing an inmate on Orange Is The New Black, a high-powered enforcer in John Wick: Chapter 3, or a financial analyst in the Showtime drama Billions, where they made history as the first non-binary main character an a mainstream American TV show."
"After a one-night-stand with their co-worker Kalli ( Superman 's Louisa Krause), Cass agrees to watch her 11-year-old daughter Ari (newcomer Ridley Asha Bateman) while she heads out of town for a quick trip. But when days go by with no word from Kalli, Cass suddenly finds themself looking after a kid they barely know how to take care of-one who happens to remind them of their own younger self."
Asia Kate Dillon bears a neck tattoo reading "einfühlung," the German word for empathy. Dillon aims to be a conduit for empathy across roles, from Orange Is The New Black to John Wick: Chapter 3 to Billions, where they became the first non-binary main character on a mainstream American TV show. In Outerlands, Dillon plays Cass, a gig economy worker hustling to afford a tiny San Francisco apartment. Cass agrees to babysit co-worker Kalli's 11-year-old daughter Ari and is left unexpectedly responsible when Kalli disappears. Outerlands premiered at SXSW, won festival accolades, and earned a Best First Screenplay nomination at the 2026 Independent Spirit Awards.
