Danica Dillon (born January 4, 1987) is the stage name of an American pornographic actress who debuted in 2009 and then went on to appear in mainstream (non-adult) roles in cable television movies.[5] Dillon is also a featured dancer at men's clubs and is a featured guest on radio and podcast shows.[6][7]
Career
In 2009 Dillon was working at a strip club in San Diego, California, when established adult actress Jenna Haze appeared at the club as a featured dancer and told her that she should give doing porn movies a try. Within two weeks of meeting Haze, Dillon had shot her first scene.[8] Since then, Dillon has worked for companies such as Hustler, Naughty America, Twistys, New Sensations, Evil Angel and Immoral Productions.[9] Since her 2009 debut Dillon has appeared in several large-scale porn productions, such as This Ain't Avatar XXX 3D (Hustler Video), The Human Sexipede (Tom Byron Pictures) and Not The Three Stooges XXX.
Appearances
She was selected to be one of the presenters at the Sex Awards, a production of AVN Media Network and X3Sixty Network, in Hollywood, California, the first fan-voted adult awards show to air on national television.[10]
Dillon is a frequent guest on the popular podcast Sam Phillips Pajama Party, heard from The Joint Studios, and she was recommended for the role by Phillips herself. Radio DJ and talk-show host, reality TV host, producer, fashion and spokesmodel and pin-up girl, Phillips has starred in and produced several movies and TV series on Cinemax.[11] "I have been doing Sam Philips Pajama Party three or four times at this point, because it’s so much fun," said Dillon. "Sam has so many interesting people on the show--this past week I met the original Hulk, Lou Ferrigno. She told me about this movie and told me I’d be amazing for the role. I think it’s so awesome that Sam, who hasn’t known me that long, would go out of her way to connect me like that. She’s a very special lady."[12]
Dillon started feature dancing at men's clubs in July of 2013. Her first appearance was at Gold Club Centerfolds in Sacramento, California.[13]
Dillon was featured in the May/June issue of the Girls of Penthouse in a photo set with porn actor Tommy Gunn titled "Danica Dillon’s Cheating Ways."[14]
Mainstream appearances
Dillon made her mainstream debut in the Cinemax series Femme Fatales in the Season 1 episode Angel & Demons. Her next mainstream project was the Cinemax movie Scared Topless.[15] The supernatural-themed thriller features a group of undergraduate students taking a class in "the supernatural and the afterlife." Her role is the daughter of a famous magician who passed away when she was a young girl.[16]
Personal life
Danica Dillon was born in Ohio and is of Irish, German and Native American descent. Prior to entering the adult industry, Dillon spent time in culinary school and had aspirations of becoming a chef.[17]

In August 2015 Dillon publicly announced that she had had several sexual encounters with Josh Duggar.[2]
