FISCHER “As a late arrival in a family of four, I always had to stand on the table to mimic the Osmonds my sisters loved 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 guy. We had drama class and I noticed that it helped me get over some of the shyness and eventually it became one of my favorite subjects. Yet I was only 25 when I really went to drama school, I had first done all kinds of other things that came my way, such as drumming in bands and lugging building blocks for the real professionals. Afterwards I am very happy that I chose this profession, it has brought me a lot of good; I visit nice places and I meet special people. I'm a lucky bastard!”
