Mason Thames: Balancing Dragons & Horror
Update: 2025-11-15
Description
Mason Thames, the young actor, faced a unique challenge while transitioning between his roles in How to Train Your Dragon and Black Phone Two. His deep immersion in Hiccups character led to unexpected overlap, causing Hiccups mannerisms to seep into his performance as Finney. Despite this, Thames brought more life experience to Finney, now a more complex character due to the trauma from the first film. Additionally, Thames achieved a rare milestone, becoming the first actor since Jim Carrey in 1994 to have three number one films at the box office in a single year.
