About Mason Gamble...
Although Mason is merely a teenager, he has been in Hollywood
for a long time (well, relative to his age!). Mason's big
break came in the 1990's film version of Dennis the Menace,
earning his starring role by beating out 20,000 other Dennis
Mitchell hopefuls in a national casting call. He has been a part
of numerous other motion pictures since then including Just in
Time, Bad Moon, Spy Hard with Leslie Nielson,
and Gattaca. In addition to his film work, Mason has
appeared on both ER and Early Edition.
Although Mason will probably be forever known for being Dennis the
Menace, his work in Rushmore is his best to date, actually
giving him the opportunity to further expand into a more dramatic
roles. Judging Rushmore, it seems likely that Mason will
probably not fade into adulthood.
