Mason was thirteen years old when a family friend encouraged him to audition for a role in the 2005 drama film 50 Ways of Saying Fabulous. Mason won the role of school bully Arch, and the film marked his first acting job. It also inspired him to pursue acting as a full-time career. In 2011, Mason flew himself to Auckland from Arrowtown to audition for the recurring role of Regan Ames in the New Zealand medical drama Shortland Street. Mason had a second audition and learned he had secured the part as he was boarding his flight home. He filmed his first scenes in February and made his first appearance as Regan on 15 April 2011. Mason described his character as "the new bad boy on the block."
