Fischer says: “As the youngest in a family of four, I always had to stand on the table to lip-sync the Osmonds, which my sisters were fans of, and to act out TV commercials. That was fun and a nice kind of attention. When I was in high school, I was quite a shy little guy. We had drama lessons and I noticed that that helped me to overcome certain shyness and eventually it became one of my favorite subjects. Still, I was only 25 when I actually went to drama school, I had first done all kinds of other things that came my way, such as playing drums in bands and carrying bricks in construction for the real professionals. In retrospect, I am very happy that I chose this profession, it has brought me a lot of good things; I get to visit nice places and I meet special people. I am a lucky bastard!”
