Interview (Audio): Mickey Fisher

A podcast conversation with the creator of the TV series Extant and Reverie.

Mickey Fisher has been a part of Go Into The Story’s life since 2013 when he broke onto the scene selling the original TV pilot script which evolved into the two-season CBS series Extant. It turned out that Mickey had been a follower of the blog for many years, so he kindly agreed to let me post his inspiring and informative history of how he developed and set up that project.

Recently, Mickey did a Screaming into the Hollywood Abyss podcast interview. As they describe the conversation:

We talk to show creator Mickey Fisher. He tells us about how his ‘overnight success’ wasn’t actually overnight, being fired in hotel rooms and having his gate pass for the studio revoked as the first sign his show was getting cancelled.

He explains his version of imposter syndrome, getting fired from a role as a three-wheel motorbike ambassador and his first meeting and instant bonding with a very pregnant Halle Berry.

He talks honestly about nearly quitting his dream, knowing his limitations and why he is so nice.

A great chat with a Hollywood nice guy who earned success on a different path.
