Dillon got his first major callback at the age of 12. He was attending a Pro-scouting event in Atlanta, Georgia and after auditioning in front of 200 of some of the biggest names in talent management, Dillon Rust received callbacks from MGM Studios, a Disney Pilot TV Show, and 3 other Atlanta based agencies. Unfortunately, all offers included moving away from his home in Raleigh, North Carolina so the offers were declined for the time being.
