Daniel James "Dan" Mason was played by Matthew Crompton. He first appears on screen on 3 December 2007 and last appears on 14 November 2008.
Before the character's arrival, the media reported on the Masons because they were to be portrayed by actors that the viewing public were already quite familiar with. A source also stated that the character would 'ruffle a few feathers' with residents.
After the character's first six months onscreen the actor's contract was extended by one year due to the character's popularity with the viewing public.

Famous quotes containing the words dan and/or mason:
“Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is an anathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future, right wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Father Tom Murphy (William S. Burroughs)
“Nowadays the host does not admit you to his hearth, but has got the mason to build one for yourself somewhere in his alley, and hospitality is the art of keeping you at the greatest distance. There is as much secrecy about the cooking as if he had a design to poison you.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
