Fan Casting Mason Pines in Gravity Falls (live-action remake)

Mason "Dipper" Pines is the 12-year-old twin brother of Mabel, who was born 5 minutes after her. He possesses Journal 3, which he discovered in the woods and has helped him solve the mysteries of Gravity Falls. As an adventurer, Dipper has trouble sitting still and is always looking for riddles to solve, leaving him restless in mundane situations. His attention to detail seems helpful when solving mysteries, but others question his credibility. He is considered wise beyond his years and cannot wait to grow up and become a man. He is portrayed as goal-oriented and rooted in facts and sometimes overthinks possible scenarios and obsessively makes lists, which also makes him more perceptive of the danger Gravity Falls faces. Between seasons, Dipper hosted a series titled "Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained." It is revealed in one of the episodes that Dipper has a crush on Wendy. While he knows that he will never really be her boyfriend, this does not stop him from trying to please her. Another episode reveals that he likes bubblegum pop music. He got his nickname from a birthmark on his forehead shaped like the Big Dipper. His formal name was never revealed during the series but was later revealed to be Mason in the release of Journal 3.
