What happens

Lee Mason is an Australian film, television and stage actor from Melbourne. He is probably best known for his lead role in The Independent as naive independent politician Marty Browning. This role garnered Mason many favourable reviews, with James Brown of FilmInk describing Marty as "the most charming protagonist since Kenny". Recently awarded Best Actor in two major Film Festivals in 2016, Lee Mason has proved a unique character actor capable of lead roles and also memorable cameos. He has worked steadily in the Australian film industry for the last 10 years. He has worked as a director, writer and producer. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Marty Browning in The Independent and more recently Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment. Mason's most recent work is a production of Glengarry Glen Ross at the Chapel Off Chapel theatre in Prahran. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
