Biography

  • Mason, a seasoned actor with a foundation in classical training, discovered his love for the craft at an early age. His theatrical journey commenced with a significant role in "The Children of Heracles," a captivating Athenian tragedy directed by Peter Sellars at the renowned American Repertory Theater (ART) at Harvard. This experience ignited Mason's passion for acting and writing, with theater serving as a therapeutic medium for self-discovery.

    A graduate of Emerson College in 2011, Mason excelled in film and acting studies, earning consecutive nominations for the prestigious EVVY Awards. His standout performance as a handicapped soldier disillusioned by war earned him the coveted Best Actor title two years in a row. Post-graduation, Mason embarked on a transformative journey, exploring Latin American countries, Europe, and Africa, delving into interests in ethnography and anthropology while embracing opportunities to read and perform plays.

    Upon returning to the United States, Mason transitioned to professional acting in Los Angeles, securing a notable role in the CBS show "Person of Interest." His talent and dedication caught the attention of Academy Award-winning Director Kathryn Bigelow, leading to a supporting role in the impactful film "Detroit" (2016). Since then, Mason has continued to make waves in the industry, landing supporting roles and earning a recurring spot in the Showtime series "Ray Donovan." Mason can also be seen in acclaimed shows like Dexter, Power and Person of Interest.

    In 2019, Mason added another feather to his cap with a role alongside Saoirse Ronan and Louis Garrel in Greta Gerwig's adaptation of "Little Women." The film, nominated for Best Picture, showcased Mason's versatility and solidified his presence in the world of cinema.
