John Fisher is a working actor with film school training, a body of work spanning independent film, television, and commercial production, and a lifetime of reading rooms. He grew up in Texas, spent years running construction crews before the camera found him, and recently worked nine months as a Maintenance Supervisor inside a Washington State correctional facility — an experience that became the foundation for Inside the Wire, an in-development hour-long drama. He is currently based in the Pacific Northwest. "The same instincts that serve John as an actor — reading a room, understanding what people conceal, listening for what isn't being said — are what built Cascadia."
