In 2012 she co-starred on the ABC supernatural drama series 666 Park Avenue, which was canceled midway through its season.[9][10]
In August 2015, Mason debuted in her role as Ofelia Salazar, on the Walking Dead companion series, Fear the Walking Dead.[11]
In Spring 2014, she debuted her role of DEA Special Agent Talia Del Campo on the CBS series NCIS: Los Angeles, which has since become a recurring role.
Personal life
Mason was born in Linköping, Sweden,[12] and grew up in the neighborhood of Ryd, Linköping. She moved to the United States with her family at the age of 12.[2] She was raised around the Chicago area. She currently lives in Los Angeles, California with her husband David Denman.[13][14][15][16]
Mason has applied for U.S. citizenship. She took the U.S. citizenship test in April 2016.[12]
