GeorgeMason
- Actor
Invercargill-raised George Mason fell in love with acting at age 13, after winning a role in Southland-set coming of age movie 50 Ways of Saying Fabulous. Mason played a school bully — the first of many bad boy roles. Later he did a short run as criminal Regan Ames on Shortland Street, and acted in thriller series The Blue Rose. After multiple auditions, he took over as narrator (and one of the lead actors) for the final season of Go Girls. Then Mason headed to Australia. In late 2014 he joined Aussie TV perennial Home and Away as spirited ex-prisoner Martin Ashford. In 2019 he co-starred in Kiwi musical Daffodils.
