Early career (2010–2013)
Mason Dye entered the entertainment industry in the early 2010s, beginning with supporting roles in independent film and digital media that provided foundational experience as a newcomer actor. His on-screen debut occurred in the family-oriented comedy Adventures of Bailey: A Night in Cowtown (2013), where he portrayed Marc, a teenage boy navigating young romance amid a storyline involving a dognapping mystery.[22] Dye's initial foray into television followed with a recurring role as Brandon in the web series Secret Diary of an American Cheerleader (2013), a YouTube-produced dramedy centered on high school life and cheerleading dynamics. Appearing in multiple episodes, this project offered early exposure to serialized storytelling and ensemble performance in the emerging online content landscape.[23] These early opportunities helped Dye accumulate credits and hone his craft through small-scale productions typical of aspiring actors building a professional resume. While specifics on auditions and initial hurdles remain undocumented in public records, Dye's work during this period laid the groundwork for subsequent breakthroughs by demonstrating versatility in supporting capacities across film and web formats.Breakthrough roles (2014–2017)
Mason Dye's breakthrough came in 2014 with his recurring role as Garrett, a cunning lacrosse player and assassin on the MTV supernatural drama Teen Wolf, appearing in four episodes during the show's fourth season.[24] This part provided his first substantial television exposure, introducing him to a dedicated fanbase amid the series' exploration of werewolf lore and high-stakes intrigue.[25] The role's blend of athleticism and moral ambiguity helped establish Dye as a promising young actor in genre television.[24] Building on this momentum, Dye landed the lead role of Damon, an ambitious high school student aspiring to Yale, in the second season of MTV's Finding Carter from 2014 to 2015, appearing in nine episodes.[26] The series, centered on a teenager's abduction and family reunion, allowed Dye to delve into emotional depth, portraying Damon's navigation of relationships and personal goals within a narrative of identity and reconciliation.[27] Critics noted the show's strong character-driven storytelling, with Dye's performance contributing to its appeal as a teen drama that balanced suspense and heartfelt moments. That same year, Dye transitioned to film with his debut as Christopher Dollanganger in the Lifetime adaptation Flowers in the Attic, playing the eldest sibling in a tale of familial betrayal and confinement based on V.C. Andrews' novel.[28] The psychological thriller, which premiered to solid viewership for the network, showcased Dye's ability to convey vulnerability and resilience opposite co-stars Kiernan Shipka and Heather Graham.[4] This role marked an important step from television supporting parts to lead cinematic work, highlighting his growing presence in dramatic adaptations. In 2015, Dye starred as Victor in the Lifetime television film My Stepdaughter.[29] He continued with lead roles in 2016 films Natural Selection as Matt,[30] and Vanished: Left Behind – Next Generation as Josh.[31] In 2017, he appeared in the horror film Truth or Dare as Tyler Morris,[32] and the television film Stalker's Prey as Brandon.[33] These projects expanded his portfolio across thriller and horror genres, solidifying his reputation as an adaptable performer during this pivotal period.Recent and ongoing work (2018–present)
Following his breakthrough in network television, Dye transitioned into more selective roles on major streaming platforms, beginning with the Lifetime thriller The Wrong Son in 2018, where he portrayed the enigmatic Matt, a long-lost son whose return raises suspicions within his family.[34] That same year, he took on the recurring role of young attorney Tom Galligan in season five of Amazon Prime's Bosch, appearing in eight episodes as a character entangled in a high-stakes legal case.[35] He followed this with a guest spot as Rick Kentwood in the ABC sitcom The Goldbergs in 2019, playing a fraternity brother in the episode "Animal House." Dye's most prominent role in this period came in 2022 as Jason Carver, the affluent and vengeful basketball captain at Hawkins High, in the fourth season of Netflix's Stranger Things.[36] His portrayal of the antagonist, driven by grief and paranoia amid supernatural threats, contributed to the season's massive global success, which amassed over 1.8 billion viewing hours worldwide and became Netflix's second-biggest English-language series premiere ever.[37] The season earned 13 Primetime Emmy nominations, including for Outstanding Drama Series, generating significant awards buzz for the ensemble cast and production.[38] Dye's performance, noted for its intensity and embodiment of 1980s "jock" archetypes, helped elevate the show's exploration of social dynamics in a horror context.[39] In recent years, Dye has focused on high-profile streaming projects, reflecting a deliberate shift toward platforms like Netflix and Prime Video for roles with broader reach and creative depth. As of 2025, he is set to appear as the superhero Bombsight in a guest-starring capacity in the fifth and final season of The Boys, with potential to reprise the character in the spin-off prequel Vought Rising, which began filming in late 2024.[40] This selective approach post-Stranger Things underscores his preference for impactful, genre-driven narratives over volume, allowing time for personal milestones amid a maturing career trajectory.[41]Filmography
