Sol Mason

as THE PILOT...

Sol has had the honor of working with Paul Sand for over a decade, starting with his first play in LA, The Solvit Kids, directed by Paul & written by Clara Mamet. It was a hit so they put on a cabaret, Kurt Weill At The Cuttlefish Hotel, a collection of songs about murder, revenge and broken hearts. Other productions include The Ships Recorder, performed in a speakeasy, An Illegal Start, performed on a carousel, and Save The Pier, performed at the Santa Monica Pier amphitheater. Sol's film work is mostly made up of quirky independent features like Simple Being, The Black That Follows, and From The Ocean. He has had supporting roles in Now Is Everything, This Tunnel South, and Will 2 Live. Born in Australia, Sol moved to LA when he was eight.

Since then he’s split his time between LA and Australia. Sol has a double BA in Theatre Studies and Science from the Australian National University (ANU).
