Mason Alexander Park is a non binary film/TV and stage actor best known for playing Hedwig on the first Broadway national tour of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Mason was introduced to Pittsburgh CLO through the National High School Musical Theater Awards, during which time they were featured on PBS's reality series "Broadway or Bust." Mason performed at the Kennedy Center in D.C. as the 2013 Presidential Scholar in the Arts for Musical Theatre, which featured them in the PBS documentary, "Becoming and Artist". Mason plays Gren in the Netflix live action adaptation of the hit anime Cowboy Bebop. Their voice can be heard in the podcast musical series, "LoveVille High" in which they portray Jendrix - a genderqueer high schooler, Amazon's Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina, and the film Before You Know It. They can also be seen on other shows such as Nickelodeon's iCarly, and Bucket and Skinners Epic Adventures. Mason was the first recipient of the Helen Hayes Award for Best Leading Performer for their role as the Emcee in Cabaret in their first year switching to non-gendered awards. Theatrically, they were seen at The Long Wharf Theatre in the Pulitzer Prize winning one person play I Am My Own Wife, the Cabaret at Theater Square as Mark in Pittsburgh CLO's Altar Boyz, Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show both at PCLO and Bucks County Playhouse, and at the Benedum Center as the first countertenor to regionally play Miss Andrew in Mary Poppins, all to rave reviews.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
