Reading and performing plays whenever possible. Upon his return to the United States, he pursued acting professionally in Los Angeles where he was cast in the CBS show "Person of Interest." In 2016, Mason was handpicked by Academy Award Winning Director, Kathryn Bigelow in a supporting role in the film "Detroit."
