Dana Aliya Levinson

[14] Levinson wrote all of the musical arrangements, as well as collaborating with Stacey Weingarten on additional story, for the world premiere of LUDO's Broken Bride at NYMF, based on the band's concept album of the same name.

After years of only writing, Levinson began acting in 2017 with her first professional lead role, Grace, in the world premiere of the play Ballast by Georgette Kelly at Diversionary Theater in San Diego.

[18][19][20] This was soon followed by her role as Hazel, a trans lesbian political activist and girlfriend of Casey (played by Margaret Qualley), in the film Adam, directed by Rhys Ernst, and produced by Howard Gertler and James Schamus.

Soon after, she landed the role of Toni Rykener, a trans woman demigoddess and protector of queer love, in the series American Gods on Starz.

"[22]Levinson also appeared alongside Rob Reiner, Audra McDonald, Lorraine Toussaint, and Delroy Lindo in The Good Fight as Sadie Lipton, a trans woman swimmer who is attempting to qualify for the Olympics as well as the short films November 9,[23] and The Dress You Have On, which premiered at OutFest in 2018.

There, she discussed her experience with the Harry Potter series, as well as how Rowling's words were providing fodder for transphobic legislation that puts trans people's lives at risk.
